... FROM THE PUBLISHER ’ S DESK ... Your thoughts ? julie @ hdinews . com . au
Our city is home to more than 435,000 people from more than 180 countries , and well deserving volunteers from some of these places were recognised recently at the fourth annual awards hosted by Council ’ s Multicultural Advisory Committee , p4 . These volunteers play a vital role in bringing people from diverse backgrounds together .
The new Rouse Hill Hospital has gone from a dream to a reality . Community information sessions are being held throughout the month with presentations , with an opportunity to ask questions and give feedback , p5 . Our Prime Minister , Anthony Albanese , was recently in the area attending the opening of the huge Coles ’ automatic distribution centre at Kemps Creek . This mammoth facility is the size of 25 rugby league fields and when it is running at full capacity it
will service 229 New South Wales and ACT stores and process more than four million cartons per week . Now , that is a lot of stuff !
The warmer weather may encourage you to get out and about and there are lots of outdoor things to be involved in . Blacktown City Pet Festival , p11 , invites you and your furry friends for some fun and competitions and you can mosey around Hawkesbury Showground at the Clarendon Classic Machinery Rally , p12 .
Savour the Flavour is next month , a wonderful event to support our farmers , local businesses and our community by highlighting the Hawkesbury and our wonderful local food and produce . Still on quality food , our ‘ Power of ’ column this month , highlights the benefits of growing your own fruit and veggies and having fresh produce at your fingertips and on your plates all year round , p14 .
