2 June – Say G’day at the World Environment Day Fair
Posted on 28 May, 2013 by Connecting Country
Community members are invited to attend a World Environment Day Community Fair on Sunday 2 June, ahead of World Environment Day on Wednesday 5 June.
Established in 1972, World Environment Day has grown to be the United Nations key annual event to promote worldwide awareness of environmental issues and encourage positive environmental actions.
The Community Fair will be held at the Market Building in Mostyn Street, Castlemaine from 10.00am – 12.30pm on Sunday 2 June, coinciding with the Castlemaine Farmers’ Market.
The event will be a mini expo where residents can talk with representatives from local environmental organisations, community groups and local and state government, all of whom will be showcasing the exciting environmental projects underway throughout the Mount Alexander Shire. There will be plenty to see and do, including giveaways and activities for all ages.
Connecting Country will have a stall at the Fair, which will include a section on local Landcare groups, so please come and say hello.
The Fair is being organised by the Mount Alexander Shire Council which is working towards a sustainable future through many activities including the Community Grants Scheme’s Sustainable and Natural Environment category, improvements to waste management practices and the implementation of the 2011-2014 Environment Strategy and 2011-2015 Greenhouse Action Plan.
The Market Building is full on Sunday with the huge and fantastic RECONCILIATION Exhibition .
Need to check out your booking.
Hi Grace,
Thanks for your post. The Reconciliation Exhibition was huge and impressive. The World Environment day stalls were in the unused eastern ‘wing’ of the building. The Reconciliation Exhibition volunteers very kindly rearranged some of their displays to allow better access to this area.
With the farmers market in the adjoining car park as well, they were all very well attended – and complementary as well.
Yours,
Chris
