    The Lane Cove RSL Sub-Branch and the Lane Cove Council held a moving ANZAC Day ceremony at The Canopy 2023.  The ceremony is always well organised. The Canopy Green and its surroundings were packed with locals.

    Each year the Lane Cove RSL Sub Branch invites a Lane Cove Resident to talk about a relative who has served in the military.  This year Kerry Corkill spoke about her father, Leading Aircraftman Peter Comino.  It was wonderful to see Peter on stage at the age of 97 – read his story here.
