Australia-New Zealand Association

OBS: Founded in 1935, the Australia-New Zealand Association was formed with the purpose to meet and welcome visitors from down under, and gather together socially from time to time. ANZA continued their meet & greet, and social functions throughout the years, until the flow of visitors ceased due to travel restrictions brought on by the start of World War Two. In 1952, the ANZA was revived but the nature of ANZA changed, and it became primarily a social club for Australians & New Zealanders living in the Greater Vancouver area ... The ANZA has evolved into a sort of neighbourhood institution – much like the British ""local"".
