75th Anniversary of the End of the Second World War
This year, New Zealand will commemorate the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War on 15 August 2020.
This date marks the historic anniversary of the surrender by Japan, which represented the end of the War in Asia and the Pacific and the culmination of six long years of war across the rest of the world.
The public is invited to attend the national commemorative service, which will take place at 1pm on Saturday 15 August at Pukeahu National War Memorial Park. We recommend arriving by 12.45pm.
The service will also be live streamed. More information is available on the Ministry for Culture and Heritage website.

Driving lessons
I have been driving heavy vehicles for over 24 years and I'm soon going for my truck and trailer licence. I have a certificate from Holden NZ for driving a V8 supercar with the police.
I've had 15 students I've helped from understanding the road code to helping them get their full license. My rates are good so let me help you.
Items going missing?
Let me install cameras in and around your house. I've had parcels stolen and now I've got cameras with 24/7 live feed. Contact Gunner on 0279658111.
Poll: Could we live without public bins?
Many public rubbish bins are being removed by councils due to the large costs of regularly emptying them. Do you think we can adapt and live without them?
