This week the Burdekin is proud to host the ‘Basques in Australia’ celebrations. Having a European background myself, I commend the Basque families in our community for keeping their heritage and culture alive, and I pray that future generations continue to embrace it. So many Basque families made the Burdekin their home, contributing greatly to our community over the years. I wish you all the very best for your celebrations.
School holidays are underway and there’s plenty for families to enjoy, including the Burdekin Library’s school holiday programs. From craft and activities to storytime and games, there’s something for the kids to get involved in. I encourage parents and carers to take a look and join in the fun.
Council is also proud to support the establishment of a Country Universities Centre (CUC) here in the Burdekin, which would provide more opportunities for local students to access tertiary education without leaving the district. The CUC Management Committee is seeking community feedback through a survey to better understand the level of interest and support.
I encourage everyone to have their say and complete the survey today and help shape the future of education in the Burdekin. To complete the survey visit www.surveymonkey.com/r/P3PCY62. More information can also be found on Council’s website, Burdekin.qld.gov.au.
If you’d like to reach out, I’d love to hear from you. You can contact me by email at mayor@burdekin.qld.gov.au.
