Celebrate Harmony Week in the City of Wanneroo

Running from 15 to 21 March each year, Harmony Week encourages all Western Australians to experience, explore and appreciate the State's cultural, religious and linguistic diversity.

Wanneroo Mayor Linda Aitken said the City was proud to celebrate Harmony Week with a range of community activities designed to celebrate multiculturalism, and promote inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging for everyone.

“More than 40 per cent of the City’s population were born overseas and 20 per cent of residents speak a language other than English at home, with the most common languages being Vietnamese, Afrikaans, Arabic, Gujarati, Filipino and Mandarin,” she said.

“It is this multiculturalism that makes our City such a vibrant, progressive and incredible place to live.

“This year’s Harmony Week events will conclude with a colourful multicultural festival in the heart of Girrawheen on Friday 21 March, and I encourage everyone to come along and join in the celebrations.”
