Details
An ANZAC DAY memorial will be held at 6pm April 25th at Victory Square downtown (Corner of Cambie and Hastings).
This annual remembrance memorial is a chance to show our gratitude for the many veterans of all wars that Australian and New Zealand armed services personnel have fought and died in.
CANZBA is the organiser for the event supported by the Australian Consul, New Zealand Consul General and the British Columbia Regiment - DCO.
It will be followed afterwards by drinks at Moose's Downunder Bar for those interested.
Please spread the word to interested parties.

Robert Napoli
"Hi all looking forward to your thoughts on the service at Victory Square....What did you like/dislike? How can we improve it for next year? Would you be up for a dawn service? Great to see so many Aussies and Kiwis (and Canucks) turn out for ANZAC Day. Thanks." -
Amelia
"The service was nice but too religious. Drinks were good but could have been better coordinated - it would have been good to have some kind of introduction, ice breaker, name tags etc. " -

Kate Humphris
"It was surprising to find a 'real' Anzac service in a Canadian city - so I was glad I went to this. Drinks after were good too ... I don't know anyone in Vancouver yet, so good to meet some friendly people."
