Croydon Community School pupils Brooke and Tilly, with Maroondah mayor Nora Lamont, are completing paintings as part of preparations for this Thursday's Harmony Day. Their artwork, on small post-card size canvases, will depict multiculturalism and be part of an exhibition at Eastland shopping centre this Saturday. The project is based on the theme 'Wish You Were Here: Maroondah, where everyone belongs'. Cr Lamont will also be signing a Refugee Welcome Zone declaration, in which the council makes a commitment to welcome refugees into the community, uphold their human rights and enhance opportunities for cultural diversity.
