ANZAC DAWN SERVICE 2022
Lest We Forget Written by: Lyal Cocks
ANZAC Day - April 25th 2022 - will be commemorated with two Dawn Services in the Upper Clutha this year.
(April 22) before ANZAC Day with collection points throughout Wanaka's town centre and at Lake Hawea.
At 7.00am a service will be held at the Lake Hawea memorial above the dam and simultaneously a second Dawn Service will be held in Wanaka on the Roys Bay foreshore, opposite Helwick Street.
The RSA's theme for poppy day this year is to remind New Zealanders that while the RSA is old, not all of its veterans are and funds raised this year will contribute to the support of younger veterans.
Wanaka's Dawn Service will feature a speech by Year 13 Mount Aspiring College student Zoe Learmonth; anthems sung by Jen Anderson; and Last Post and Reveille performed by Wanaka bugler David Leslie. Piper, Clifford Hiscoke from Alexandra will also play as part of the ceremony.
Please note: Due to changing restrictions for gatherings indoors, Wanaka's primary ANZAC Day civic service, usually held in the Lake Wanaka Centre, will not proceed this year. There will also be no Laying of the Poppies service at Wanaka's Cenotaph or the traditional flypast of the Tiger Moth.
The RSA's annual fundraising Poppy Day street appeal will proceed as usual on the Friday
