Council in partnership with Genuine Support Services Australia, invites the community to celebrate the International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD) on Friday 6 December 2024, from 10.00am to 1.30pm at the Murray Bridge Rowing Centre, between Wharf Road and Murray Cods Drive.

UPDATE: EVENT CANCELLED

Observed worldwide as a United Nations (UN) day, IDPwD promotes awareness, understanding and acceptance of people with disabilities. In Australia, this day unites government bodies, schools, organisations, businesses and individuals to foster a more inclusive society for the 5.5 million Australians living with a disability.

The celebration will begin with a Welcome to Country ceremony at 10.00am, setting the stage for a day filled with engaging and accessible activities, including sailing, TADSA adaptive bikes, face painting, a petting zoo, a range of inclusive sports, the Mission Australia quiet zone, silent disco  and a visit from Santa!

Guests can also enjoy a complimentary healthy BBQ lunch. As an added bonus, one lucky attendee will win a $250 gift card, with the draw scheduled for approximately 12 noon (must be present to win).
