Gunnedah Shire services to pay tribute to ANZAC Day 2022

21 March, 2022

Gunnedah Shire will once again commemorate ANZAC Day in the true Anzac spirit, with services around the Shire.

Gunnedah Shire Mayor Jamie Chaffey said the community had always turned out in large numbers to pay tribute to those who have served.

“ANZAC Day is an important day in the Australian calendar, and has always had a special place in Gunnedah Shire’s heart,” Cr Chaffey said.

“Our Shire should be proud of the way we have marked this day each year, and this year will be no different.

“Services around the Shire will remember those who have served, who fought and gave their lives in conflicts around the world. I urge everyone to attend a service if they can, or to spend a moment or two thinking of those who have served in the past, or who are even now serving their country.”
