Communities and Heritage Councillor, Drew Wickerson, said this year there would be a mixture of ways people could honour Australia’s veterans.
“Last year, the community found new ways to honour those who have served, and continue to serve our country, which was fantastic to see,” Mr Wickerson said.
“The great news is not only are we able to have in person services again, but those new ways, such as RSL Queensland’s Light Up the Dawn campaign, will be back again this year.
“We understand not everyone will be able to attend Anzac events and encourage those who can’t attend to participate in Light Up the Dawn, which started last year in the midst of the pandemic and saw people lighting candles at the end of their driveways as a way to commemorate our veterans.
