City of Perth’s Post

Celebrating old ties, with new growth! Our visiting delegation from Sister City Vasto, led by Mayor Mr Francesco Menna, joined our Lord Mayor Basil Zempilas, Deputy Lord Mayor Cr Bruce Reynolds, Councillors Catherine Lezer, Clyde Bevan (Friends Restaurant) Bevan and Cr Raj Doshi, and our CEO Michelle Reynolds down by Lake Vasto today to plant trees in honour of the 35-year connection between our Cities. Separated by 13,164 kilometres, Vasto and Perth share deep cultural and heritage links, and the new trees symbolise the strength and new growth still to come in our valued relationship. The Lord Mayor touched on the economic and migrant connections for Perth’s Italian community at last night’s Civic Reception, where the Vasto delegates were joined by around 75 members of our State’s Italian community. It was a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the influence the community continues to have in our great City of Light. For more details on the Vasto visit, head to: https://lnkd.in/g2MVS_dH
