Lunar New Year

 Paul HAMER (Box Hill) (10:04): I would like to warmly wish a very happy Year of the Horse to everyone in the Box Hill community who will be celebrating this special occasion over the next few weeks. Lunar New Year is celebrated across many cultures, including Chinese and Vietnamese communities across South and South-East Asia, and it is a time to come together with family, honour traditions and look ahead with hope. As we welcome the new year, we celebrate shared values, renewal, resilience, respect and unity and the spirit of moving forward together. To everyone celebrating across the Box Hill community: I wish you good health, happiness and prosperity in the year ahead.
