We Will Remember Them: Honouring those who made the ultimate sacrifice
- 6 November 2024

A time-honoured tradition continues as we look forward to welcoming the Returned and Services League (RSL) Victoria to Springvale Botanical Cemetery for its annual Remembrance Day service.
Held on Sunday 10 November at the Springvale War Cemetery, the Annual State Remembrance Service will pay tribute to all who have lost their lives in service of their country. It is the 40th consecutive service of its kind, and will be attended by a number of notable guests including Ms Eden Foster MP, Mr David Southwick, representing the State Opposition, and the member for the South Eastern Metropolitan Region, Ms Ann-Marie Hermans. SMCT Trust Chair Dr Vanda Fortunato will lay a wreath at the service, and will be joined by CEO Lucinda Nolan, and Damian Ramondetta from the Executive Leadership Team.
