Pride of the Lions

The Courier

WEE Waa Lions Club hosted its changeover dinner on 23 June, with special tributes to the late Noel Holland, a Wee Waa Lion, and the late Rob Gilbert, a Narrabri Lion.

A minute’s silence was held in recognition of both men, honouring their decades of service to the community, their loyalty to Lions and their unwavering dedication to the volunteer activities and initiatives the groups have supported over the years.

Narrabri Lions Rod Onus and John McPherson attended the dinner, held at Wee Waa Bowling Club, showing support for their neighbouring club and playing a few friendly tricks and jokes to keep the Wee Waarians on their toes.

How a Sanitization Service Supports Healthier Community Spaces

How a Sanitization Service Supports Healthier Community Spaces

Maintaining hygienic community spaces through a sanitisation service may support public health, build trust, and help shared environments remain safe and welcoming.

 Shared spaces such as schools, businesses, and community facilities rely on consistent hygiene practices to remain safe for visitors and staff. A professional sanitisation service focuses on reducing bacteria and viruses on frequently touched surfaces using approved disinfectants and specialised equipment. Unlike routine cleaning, sanitisation targets microorganisms that may remain on surfaces long after visible dirt is removed. As awareness of preventive hygiene grows across Australia, organisations are increasingly adopting structured sanitisation programs to support healthier environments. Combined with responsible cleaning practices and community awareness, professional sanitisation may help reduce contamination risks while maintaining confidence in the spaces people use every day.

Why Safe Driving Matters for Families Attending Activities Like Legs Dance Studio

Why Safe Driving Matters for Families Attending Activities Like Legs Dance Studio

Safe travel habits support the routines, connections, and opportunities that community activities provide.

Regular trips to extracurricular activities such as a legs dance studio place families on the road several times each week, often during busy or low-visibility periods. Safe driving habits, vehicle maintenance, and thoughtful planning may reduce risks and make travel more manageable. Parking courtesy, reliable vehicles, and awareness of local traffic conditions all contribute to safer journeys. Community programs depend on consistent attendance, and safe transport helps make that possible. By modelling responsible driving and planning trips carefully, families support not only their children’s activities but also the safety and wellbeing of their wider community.
