Two minutes silence

Today marks one week since the world turned upside down and the earthquake struck Christchurch. In remembrance of all those who have tragically lost their lives, those who are still missing and those who are injured, we will be observing a 2-minute silence at 12.51 pm. This 2-minute silence is a chance for us each to take a moment, reflect on the tragic losses, and give thanks for those who are in Christchurch helping with the response.

Auckland City is encouraged, at each of our locations, to stand outside our buildings at 12.51 pm and observe the silence. For those of you based around Aotea Square, feel free to join the Auckland City Executive Leadership Team outside the Aotea Centre near the flagpoles. At Warkworth the main gathering is outside the Information Centre by the flagpole. Other libraries in Rodney will also be observing the two minutes silence, outside their libraries for those that wish to gather.
