Active Lifestyle, Oakleigh
Steve DIMOPOULOS (Oakleigh – Minister for Environment, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events, Minister for Outdoor Recreation) (10:33): Rachel King and Chris Matthews are the owners of Active Lifestyle in Oakleigh. I would like to thank them and acknowledge the extraordinary generosity of Active Lifestyle, its members and the wider community. In early January they organised a community donation drive to support the Sikh Volunteers to provide free meals to people in crisis during bushfires and other emergencies. The response was overwhelming. A week later, as firefighters were battling devastating Longwood fires, Rachel, Chris and the gym community responded again. They gathered snacks and drinks and prepared over 600 individual goodie bags for the CFA firefighters and volunteers. Thank you so much for the extraordinary work you do.
