City of Wanneroo proud to support Anzac Day services
Published Wednesday, 19th April 2023
The City’s Flagship Funding will support three dawn services held across the City this Anzac Day.
The ceremonies, hosted by RSL Sub-branches in Wanneroo, Quinns Rocks and Yanchep, aim to honour Australian and New Zealand service men and women who served in World War 1 and the conflicts that followed.
Mayor Linda Aitken said she was proud the City could support these important services and encouraged the community to attend to pay their respects.
“Anzac Day plays a significant role in Wanneroo’s history," she said.
“The Wanneroo district was far away from Europe, but this did not shield our tiny community of 300 people from the horrors of World War 1.
"It’s important we reflect on the sacrifices service men and women have made and continue to make for our community.”
The City’s Flagship Funding supports not-for-profit community groups and organisations delivering community initiatives that recognise, celebrate and commemorate the City’s rich history and diverse culture.
