Museum visit with Dr Alice Clement of Flinders University.

Age Of Fishes Museum Open Day: The Age of Fishes Museum is preparing to welcome back renowned paleontologist Dr Alice Clement of Flinders University for a special Community Open Day free of charge on Thursday 16 April from 12.30pm to 3.30pm. The museum encourages any­one with interest in fossils, science or local heritage to attend and take advantage of this unique opportunity to engage with cut­ting-edge paleontolical research in Canow­indra. Visitors will also be treated to a free barbecue.

Canowindra Quiltfest – Stories In Stich: Canowindra Quilt Festival is being held from 16 – 18 April at All Saints Anglican Church, Canowindra, 9am – 5pm. The fes­tival will not only offer a wonderful display of quilts, but will feature handmade crafts, wedding dresses, rugs and many other hand sewn items. Refreshments will be available to purchase and entry is just $7.

Toddler Parenting Group: Tresillian has offered a wonderful, free, opportunity for families within our community. The Tod­dler Parenting Group for children aged 18-36months will centre around what be­haviour is normal and what is not. This session is being run in conjunction with the Canowindra Community Centre to provide connection to local services.

Have Your Say Cabonne: Cabonne Coun­cil’s Have Your Say platform provides a central place for our community to share ideas, offer feedback, and stay informed about key projects and plans across the Cabonne LGA. We encourage you to get involved and register today by visiting htt­ps://haveyoursay.cabonne.nsw.gov.au/

Time To Get A Flu Shot: Flu season is ap­proaching and the number of people get­ting sick is already rising across Australia.

Annual flu vaccination remains the best way to protect yourself, reduce your risk of serious illness, and help protect vulnerable people in our community. If you haven’t had your flu vaccine yet, now is a good time to book an appointment with your local GP practice or pharmacist.

Funding supports a wide range of initiatives—from community infrastructure to workshops, inclusivity and accessibility projects.
