welcome
Welcome to our 12th edition of BOLD.
Winter is here, the best time of year to enjoy some of our indoor
attractions. There's so much on offer at the Empire Theatre and
our art galleries, with plenty of shows and exhibitions to enjoy
during July and August. In particular, we have a special focus on
celebrations for NAIDOC week to showcase the living culture of our
First Nations.

Recently we hosted the annual Mayoral Prayer Breakfast and
I'm very proud that we're able to support the wonderful work of
Toowoomba Community Care Transport. In this issue of BOLD we introduce you to some of
the drivers and share with you the difference they're making to people's lives every day.

Our libraries continue to provide some fantastic activities during the school holidays to
challenge, excite and engage children by expanding their minds. Look out for the regional
Edison Robot program over the holiday period, an activity that combines learning with fun. In
August we'll see the popular TooCon Pop Culture Festival return after its enormous success
last year. This is a wonderful event for the entire family that shouldn't be missed.

This year’s Languages and Cultures Festival is set to showcase outstanding music
performances and tempting foods from around the globe. We proudly boast rich traditions of
diversity and it's great to see this festival prosper, as a day where we celebrate the customs
contributed by so many cultural groups. I encourage you to bring your family along to Queens
Park and enjoy this wonderful display of our multicultural region.
Finally we take a look at where our water comes from and the journey from dam or bore to
our taps. We offer you a sneak ‘behind the scenes’ peek at our Mount Kynoch facility and
the award winning work that our water team do so our community can enjoy fresh clean
water at the turn of a tap.
