The Hughes Community Centre will transform into a hub of information, resources and connection that joins together organisations dedicated to veterans’ wellbeing and services.
COTA ACT’s Veteran’s and Families’ Expo is a family-friendly event that guarantees a fun day out for veterans and their families, ex-service personnel and those transitioning out of military service with a wide range of veterans’ organisations, community groups, service providers, informative presentations and more.
Some of the highlights of the day include a presentation and walking tour of the Hughes Veterans Sculpture by Colonel Richard Barrett, face painting and balloon modelling, a sausage sizzle provided by the Hughes Community Shed and Garden, more than 40 veteran-friendly service providers and organisations, and family-friendly entertainment.
Coordinated by Council on the Ageing (COTA) ACT, with partners Open Arms and Canberra Legacy, the event will bring together people of all ages to enjoy a day of connection and community for veterans and their families.
When: Saturday 20 July 10am-3pm
