A Message of Community, Compassion and Respect ❤️
In light of the recent tragic news involving our Federal Member, Dr Helen Haines, our thoughts are with Helen, her family and everyone affected during this difficult time.
Our region is built on strong community connections, kindness and looking out for one another.
At times like these, we are reminded of the importance of compassion, understanding and respect. While we may have different views and perspectives, it is how we treat one another that truly defines the strength of our community.
We encourage everyone to be kind, respect the privacy of those affected, avoid speculation and support one another.
Our community is strongest when we stand together, show compassion and look after each other.
From all of us at the Bright & District Chamber of Commerce and our community events.
