    A memorial's been unveiled to mark one year since the deaths of five people during a fire at Wellington's Loafers Lodge

    A memorial's been unveiled to mark one year since the deaths of five people during a fire at Wellington's Loafers Lodge


    The boarding house, in the suburb of Newtown, went up in flames in the early hours of the morning of May 16th last year.

    A plaque near the site has been unveiled, for the city to reflect on the loss.

    Mayor Tory Whanau says she will always remember the aroha shown by the community - following the tragic event.

    She says it was a heavy burden for many to carry - but the outpouring of support lightened the load, and showed how caring the city is.
