The live streamed service, Ko Tātou, Tātou We Are One, will be held at Christchurch Arena – and Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington will be honouring the occasion too.
Mayor Andy Foster says the anniversary and commemorations are an opportunity for people all around the country, and the world, to show their unity and support of diversity and compassion.
“The country has shown what it can do when it works together side by side over the past year, and so we also need to stand together against intolerance and discrimination.
“We are an inclusive community in which we celebrate our differences, our communities, our histories, and face our challenges in solidarity,” adds the Mayor.
