 Richard WELCH (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (10:07): It was my great pleasure to attend Harmony Day at the Box Hill town hall last weekend, and I thank the Chinese professionals association and the City of Whitehorse for running an excellent event. It was a wonderful opportunity to come together and celebrate many cultures that make up our local community. Harmony Day is more than just about words; it is about connecting through food, dance, shared stories and in this case an excellent display of garden-grown vegetables from the Chinese community – fantastic. I learned a lot. I was honoured to be part of the event and to witness the community spirit on full display.
