WEEKLY City News
Ryde RemembersThis week’s Remembrance Day services held very special significance as we commemorate the centenary of World War One. A very moving ceremony was held at the Ryde Cenotaph in Ryde Park where the sacrifices of our young nation in the First World War and all those who have suffered as a consequence of armed conflict since then were remembered.Earlier in the day I was proud to officially launch the Ryde Remembers 2,000 Poppies project. Already individuals and groups are busy making up red poppies for a mass planting being planned for Anzac Day 2015.Simultaneously, specially designed black and gold commemorative street signs have started going up all over our City identifying local street names like Anzac Avenue and Diggers Avenue that have links to our WWI history. You can find out more about both these projects on the Council’s website at www.ryde.nsw.gov.au/ryderemembers
