Australia Day Program – 26 January 2020
The 2020 winners of the Orange Australia Day Awards will be revealed and we will welcome the newest Australian citizens. There will be the annual raffle of prizes from a range of local businesses and tickets can be purchased on the day, with proceeds to go to a local charity. It’s one of the biggest events on the Orange social calendar.
Orange’s party in the park is a perfect family day out to celebrate our cultural diversity and come together on our nation’s day. If you are interested in setting up a stall, please give the stall coordinator a call on 0404 878 025
Orange Australia Day 2020 Awards
The people of Orange are a wonderfully giving community. Whether it be time, money, talent or advice, we all know someone who donates something of theirs to help and contribute to the betterment of others.
There are hundreds of unsung heroes in our city, whose commitment and dedication makes a significant, positive difference to someone else’s life. It’s probably your cousin, your neighbour, your colleague or your close friend or family member. They deserve public recognition and you could be the one who gives it to them.
There are six award categories this year for the Orange Australia Day Awards and everyone in the community is invited to nominate someone who is deserving of acknowledgment.
The Citizen of the Year Award recognises an individual who has achieved something extraordinary, is an inspirational role model to others or who has made a sustained outstanding contribution to the local community.
The Young Citizen of the Year Award recognises an individual under 25 years of age who has achieved something extraordinary, is an inspirational role model to others or who has made a sustained outstanding contribution to the local community.
