Community Sporting Forum
Rural City of Wangaratta’s Community and Recreation team are looking forward to hosting a Community Sport Forum, with Good Sports, AFL North East Border, and Sport North East. The forum will take place at HP Barr Community Centre at 7pm on Monday 15 July.
The Community Sport Forum will be an opportunity for sporting organisations in the Rural City of Wangaratta to hear from a range of guest speakers. Topics covered will include club culture, fair access policies, inclusion and diversity, vaping, alcohol and other drugs, and more.
Marcus Goonan Director of Community & Infrastructure encourages community members to attend:
“This free event will strengthen understanding of the Community Sport Fair Access Policy Action Plan, which was recently adopted by Council. It will also provide an opportunity to learn about initiatives from Good Sports, AFLNEB and Sport North East to support inclusion and positive club culture.” He said.
Come along to the Good Sports Wangaratta forum for insightful conversations, valuable information, and practical tips to support your club members to lead a healthier lifestyle.
This is an opportunity to learn, connect with your community, and be inspired. There’ll be opportunity to ask questions throughout the session. The event is free, registration is essential.
