Multicultural Harmony Festival, Box Hill

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 thank you to 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.
