Residents unable to attend a service can observe ANZAC Day by laying floral tributes at Ku-ring-gai's 'Places of Pride', an initiative of the Australian War Museum. A full list of Ku-ring-gai war memorials identified as Places of Pride is available at krg.nsw.gov.au/anzacday

St Johns Anglican Church in Gordon will also hold a special commemorative service on Sunday 28 April from 11.30am.
