Path clear for Anzac Day events
A PATH has been cleared to host Anzac Day events in Yungaburra.
According to Yungaburra Military Commemoration Committee’s Ashley Cupitt, there had been “significant challenges” in obtaining insurance for the event.
But now the group is a sub-committee of the Yungaburra Association Inc. (YAI), this will ensure that the Yungaburra Anzac Day March and Service will go ahead as planned as it has for over 100 years.
It will also guarantee the service will be able to continue for many years in the future.
“There had been significant challenges trying to get insurance for the event until the Yungaburra Association stepped in to auspice the occasion,” Mr Cupitt said.
“This challenge has now been overcome and we can start on the final preparations for Anzac Day, focusing on what is important to our community.
“We will be remembering those men and women who have gone before us to war and the sacrifice they made to make our country safe from tyranny.
“The Remembrance Day Service will also be able to be conducted in Yungaburra in November.”
YAI chairperson Ken Jack said the organisation was pleased to be able to continue to support Yungaburra in this way.
“Yungaburra Association is committed to supporting our community and our management team felt that it was very important to make sure that the Anzac and Remembrance Day Commemorations went ahead,’ he said.
If any member of the community wishes to be involved, they can contact Mr Cupitt on 0488 423 648.
