Strathfield's Homelessness Food Appeal

Cr Karen Pensabene, Mayor of Strathfield

Council celebrated NAIDOC Week with a native reptile display, smoking ceremony and cultural performance before the official opening of the NAIDOC Week with Walangari Karntawarra exhibition. I’d like to thank the artist, Walangari Karntawarra and performers from Diramu Aboriginal Dance and Didgeridoo, who shared their time with us on a very special week. Walangari’s colourful body of work is on exhibition until 27 August during Strathfield Library opening hours.

I was delighted to welcome His Excellency, the Consul General of the People’s Republic of China in Sydney, Mr Zhou Limin and Vice Consul, Mr Lin Jing for a meet and greet with Deputy Mayor Cr Benjamin Cai and Cr Sandy Reddy on Wednesday 12 July. These meetings are important as they help foster connections and enable us to discuss common interests as leaders with a shared goal of growing our communities.

I will also be organising 4 Mayoral Street Meetings in August and September in different locations throughout our LGA. I look forward to meeting everyone and discussing local matters close to your heart. More information on these street meetings is available on our website.

As always if you require any help or information, please contact the office or email me on cr.kpensabene@strathfield.nsw.gov.au
