The latest Citizenship Ceremony took place at the Proserpine Entertainment Centre last Sunday, where Mayor Ry Collins had the honor of conferring Australian citizenship to 44 new citizens.
These new Australians come from a wide range of countries, each bringing their own unique stories and backgrounds to the celebration.
Becoming an Australian citizen is a deeply personal decision, one that is met with warmth and pride across the nation. Citizenship represents a commitment to Australia’s values, freedoms, responsibilities, and protections. It signifies dedication to the democratic process, respect for the rights and liberties of others, and a shared responsibility to uphold Australian laws.
The Whitsunday Region is a shining example of Australia’s multicultural society. Our diversity is not only reflected in the visitors who come to explore our beautiful corner of the world, but also in the many immigrants who have chosen to call this place home.
Mayor Ry Collins shared his excitement for the new citizens, saying:
“Today is a day to celebrate our community, our culture, our pride, and just how lucky we are to be Australian.
“It was heartening to see the joy and excitement at the ceremony, with so many friends, family, and loved ones coming together to mark this special occasion.
“Well done to all!”
Welcome and congratulations to all the new Australian citizens.
