year of the CAT & RABBIT

Our Lunar New Year celebration to see in the Year of the Cat and Rabbit was held in Cabramatta in February.

Thanks to the great work by the Major Events team as always, it was another successful year with about 12,000 people from Fairfield City and beyond enjoying the day’s activities.

Family friendly activities included amusement rides, lion dance workshops, a Hello Kitty meet and greet, DimSimLim leading a Cabramatta food tour, martial arts demonstrations, chop stick competition, God of Wealth visits and of course a big fireworks finale.

Special shout out to City Works, our electricians, Waste Services and many other staff who were involved in making the day go smoothly and giving our residents a wonderful day out.

Seniors’ Bus Excursion

On Thursday, 23 March, the Fairfield Seniors Network went on their first excursion since 2018 to Mt Annan Botanical Gardens.

17 local seniors from different cultural backgrounds and community groups, including the Chinese Russian Friendship Group, Active Maltese Group, Assyrian Social Group, Italian Pensioners, Canley Heights Seniors Group, St Hurmidz and NSW SLASA, came together to enjoy the gardens.

These excursions are a great way for seniors to find out more about the local area, to get out and be active in an accessible space, meet people from different cultures, and also to combat social isolation.
