One year on since the Christchurch mosque attacks, but commemoration services have been cancelled due to coronavirus
15 March 2020
There was supposed to be a national remembrance service at Christchurch's Horncastle Arena, but that was called off yesterday afternoon.
Soon after, Auckland cancelled its event at Eden Park, and Wellington's event at Shed 6 isn't going ahead either.
Christchurch mayor Lianne Dalziel and Auckland mayor Phil Goff both say it's the right decision for the safety of New Zealand.
The planned unveiling of a plaque at the Al Noor Mosque in Christchurch has also been postponed to an unspecified date.
