NAIDOC Community Art project
Be part of the picture! We’re asking our community to contribute by painting leaves for our NAIDOC canvas. With the help of our First Nations Officer and artist Kathleen Turtur, we want to create a piece of art that reflects our unity as a community. This is a free event and no registration is needed.

• Tuesday, 9 July 9-10.30am, City Administration, 9 Coleville Crescent, Spearwood. 

Roger Hayden at Coolbellup Library
We invite you to join us in listening to former Fremantle Dockers player Roger Hayden talk about growing up in the state’s south-west, his AFL career with the Dockers and what makes Cockburn the best place to be. Now, as the Next Generation Academy Coach and Indigenous and Multicultural Liaison for the Fremantle Football Club, he’s here to talk all things football and Cockburn and Fremantle Football Club.

• Wednesday 10 July 6-7pm, Coolbellup Library. Tickets $5.
