Due to calendar conflict and the anticipation that a long weekend will discourage attendance, Boronia RSL has reluctantly decided to cancel it’s weekend Anzac Day march service.
Thursday 6 February saw Boronia RSL officially announce the cancellation of its annual commemorative march for 2025, traditionally held on the weekend prior to Anzac Day.
This year, the event was scheduled for Sunday, 20th April, which coincides with Easter Sunday.
Due to the long weekend and the fact that many of the marchers will be away or attending family functions, the RSL Committee decided to cancel the march in order to avoid low participation.
“We understand this may cause some inconvenience and apologise for any disruption to those who look forward to the march each year. We hope to see everyone next year,” a spokesperson from the Boronia RSL said.
For anyone with questions or concerns about the cancellation, Bob Menzies, the event coordinator, is available to assist and can be reached at 0476 302 816.
The RSL is hopeful that the event will return in 2026, and encourages all members and the community to stay connected for future updates.
