COMMUNITY MEMBERS & COMMUNITY ORGANISATIONS

On behalf of the Seven Hills Toongabbie Wentworthville RSL Sub-Branch we would like to invite all Veterans to our Veteran’s Day Commemoration Service at the Seven Hills RSL, on the 15th of August 2023 walks in Blacktown and Mount Druitt and were encouraged to provide their feedback while walking along a route from the train station, through the town centre and ending at the local hospital.

The Service will commence at 11am.

We will be commemorating the 50th anniversary of the then Governor-General Sir Paul Hasluck proclaiming an end to Australia’s involvement in the Vietnam War.

More than 60,000 Australians served in Vietnam, over 3,000 wounded and 523 gave their lives in the longest conflict Australians were involved in during the 20th Century.

The Service will involve the laying of Wreaths as a sign of respect. If you wish to lay a Wreath at the base of our cenotaph, please contact Graham Larkham by either email graham28@aussiebb.com.au or phone 0418 247 831.

At the conclusion of the Service you are invited to attend the Club for a Luncheon.

Participants provided feedback through an online survey and interactive map on which they were asked to drop pins at locations where they felt safe and unsafe.

Blacktown City Mayor Tony Bleasdale OAM said, “This initiative is a great way for Council and Transport for NSW to look at how we can better involve women and girls in the ways we design public places.

“Their feedback will be used to design a series of trial projects that help make Blacktown City a better place for women to live, work and move around.”
