Harmony and a cuppa

Peter Bannan

TO  mark the occasion of Harmony Day, a host of local services are joining together and will celebrate with a cultural morning tea that will include samples of tea and biscuits from around the world.

The event is the result of collaboration between Mallee Family Care (MFC), Victoria Police, Swan Hill SuniTAFE and The Pioneer Settlement.

Victoria Police, Multicultural Liason Officer, Carol Mannix said the event is strongly supported by the Victorian Police.

“Anything that includes culture and harmony will be supported by Victoria Police,”she said.
