Generous Canberrans can donate vouchers or fund the purchase with 100% of money received by GIVIT used to purchase entertainment vouchers. To donate or fund, visit givit.org.au/whats-needed, search Category: ‘movies, swimming pool entry, bowling and children’s activities’; Location: ‘ACT’. GIVIT supports more than 400 charities and community groups across the Capital Region by matching your items with people who need them most.
Spring forward
Daylight Saving Time starts in the ACT on Sunday 1 October at 2am when clocks are turned forward one hour to 3am. (We lose an hour.) It will end on Sunday 7 April 2024. A handy mnemonic for remembering which way to turn the clock is: Spring forward, fall back.
