16.01.2022 South West Sport has made a call to postpone the November 2020 South West Games event until next year. South West Sport CEO, Mike Neoh, said ... "Given the unc...ertainty around the transition between restriction levels and the lead in time needed to plan, we will be postponing the 2020 South West Games until 2021. As a significant annual event (continuous for 3 decades), like many other cancelled major events, it was a difficult but correct decision. As an organisation that promotes ‘well-being’, the community's health is our priority. Our sponsors, partners and clubs (that registered initial interest) have been extremely supportive and fully endorse the decision that was made in the best interest of the community. South West Sport continues to deliver its other programs to support sport with club development activities and we also continue to actively encourage individuals to undertake regular exercise within the COVID guidelines".

05.01.2022 Today marks the beginning of NAIDOC Week 2020! It's a significant time to celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, histories and achievements. ...It's also an opportunity for everyone in Australia to reflect on and make a priority the social and emotional wellbeing of Indigenous Australians. Whilst the week is usually celebrated in July, the organising committee made the unprecedented decision to move the official NAIDOC week celebrations to November, to protect elders and those in the community with chronic health issues, from the impacts of COVID. This year’s theme - Always Was, Always Will Be - recognises that First Nations people have occupied and cared for this continent for over 65,000 years. South West Sport, like many other organisations, is proud to celebrate NAIDOC Week in both July and November. This year, things look a little different but we’re finding new ways to connect and reflect with a range of COVID-safe activities including a virtual film viewing party, hearing from virtual guest speakers and attending online cultural events. To learn more about upcoming NAIDOC events, visit bit.ly/38gSSKk. How are you celebrating #NAIDOC2020? #alwayswasalwayswillbe
