MAYOR'S MESSAGE
As a community we have enjoyed the easing of restrictions and the
opportunity to reconnect. We appreciate, more than ever, the simple pleasures
of gathering and celebrating.
While some of the COVID-19 Safe Christmas events scheduled over summer
were affected by the restrictions placed on Greater Sydney, we were able to
enjoy some smaller adapted events to celebrate our New Year.
We have had some great things to celebrate. Despite restrictions we
presented our Australia Day citizenship ceremony to welcome our newest
Australians and our citizen awards recognising the amazing people whose
contributions make Georges River a better place to live.
The inaugural In Good Taste festival started an exciting celebration of the
food of our cultures and community in Georges River. Our community were
introduced to indigenous bush tucker available in our own Oatley Park and we
had a taste of the traditional fare of Lunar New Year.
Get Reconnected provided several opportunities to start the new year with
new beginnings and reconnection with family, friends, and community. We
tried new things via Zoom like Yoga for adult beginners, art for our wellbeing
and learning about mindful eating.
Story times returned for our three to five-year olds with park-based readings at
five of our beautiful parks across Georges River. This was a double celebration
of our much-loved public spaces and the stories shared by our library staff.
To support our local artists, we hosted Mobile Musos across a number of
town centres over summer and had the combined benefit of enhancing the
atmosphere of those villages through live performance while attracting people
to our local businesses.
Together we can keep reconnecting in our vibrant community while keeping
each other safe.
Celebrate what is most beautiful about our community, our cultures, our
environment, our arts, and our people. We are very fortunate here in
Georges River.
