Bundaberg and District Neighbourhood Centre s Corrie McColl, Dianne Hicks and Maggie Xu are ready for Harmony Week.
The region s rich multicultural heritage will be celebrated at two Bundaberg and District Neighbourhood Centre Harmony Week events this week.
The region’s population is growing increasingly diverse and this development will be reflected in cultural events, honouring Harmony Week, to be hosted at the Bundaberg Neighbourhood Centre today and the Windmill Café Bargara on Saturday.
Corrie McColl, Bundaberg and District Neighbourhood Centre manager, said this week’s events were designed to reflect the goals of Harmony Week.
“Harmony Week was originally Harmony Day, and it was started in 1999 to, in short, create increased awareness about the social inclusion of people from different cultures and countries in Australia,” he said.

Bundaberg Mayor Jack Dempsey has put his support behind Queensland s bid to host the 2032 Olympic Games. Cr Dempsey said he d previously met with former Lord Mayor Graham Quirk to put forward the Bundaberg Region s credentials as a training base and to host events. It s fantastic that Queensland has taken a big step towards hosting the 2032 Olympic Games after news that our state has been identified as the preferred candidate, he said. If the International Olympic Committee s executive board accepts the recommendation, Queensland s bid which was lodged in September 2019 by Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, will see events held across the state. Â I certainly believe we d provide an ideal venue for rowing, triathlon and sailing.
