Last Wednesday, the Rotary Club of Howrah proudly made history by hosting a powerful and timely community event, “Peace & Social Cohesion Challenges in Tasmania.”
At a time when the world feels increasingly uncertain, and in light of recent tragic incidents interstate, this conversation was not only important, it was necessary. As a community, we stand united in saying that we do not want division or violence in Tasmania. We want understanding, respect, and peace. Everyone talks about peace but peace requires action, dialogue, and courage. This event was our step toward that commitment.
The evening was honoured by the presence of Members of Parliament Carlo Di Falco, Helen Burnet , David O'Byrne MP and Vica Bayley , along with representatives from various councils. Your attendance demonstrated strong leadership and support for unity within our community.
We extend our sincere appreciation to our outstanding panelists who shared their expertise and heartfelt insights:
• Grant Twining – Inspector, Community Engagement Command, Tasmania Police
• John Thorne – Past Director of Rotary International & Tasmanian Volunteer Lifetime Award Winner
• Pia Saturno – Acting Anti-Discrimination Commissioner, Office of the Anti-Discrimination Commissioner
• Terry Sussmilch – Religions for Peace Tasmania Branch & Faith Community Network of Tasmania
• Syeda Aimen Jafri Training & Engagement Officer, Migrant Resource Centre Tasmania & Member, Australian Multicultural Council
• Heather Chong – Former District Governor Rotary, Former Deputy Mayor & Current Councillor, City of Clarence
The event, held at Glenorchy District Football Club, welcomed more than 120 attendees from diverse cultural backgrounds. Representatives from many countries came together to share perspectives, experiences, and hopes for a stronger Tasmania. It was a true reflection of multicultural harmony.
The evening began beautifully with a live violin performance by David Suzane, setting a reflective and inspiring tone. The hall was warmly decorated with electric candles and fresh Tasmanian plants, creating an atmosphere of unity and calm.
The program included acknowledgement to country by District Governor Rotary Club Craig Perkins - District Governor, Rotary Clubs of Tasmania , an engaging quiz session where the top five participants received vouchers from our generous sponsors, followed by raffle draws and an interactive Q&A session that allowed the audience to directly engage with our panelists. A symbolic cake-cutting ceremony celebrated unity before refreshments were served.
We are deeply grateful to our supportive partners:
Pizzarazi Glebe Hill & Howrah, Clarence City Council, Woolworths, Darcy Café Moonah, and Spice on Wheels.
A special thank you to ABC Radio for promoting the event and inviting Event Lead Numan Rasul to speak about the importance of peace and social cohesion.
Most importantly, we thank every single person who attended, supported, and believed in this initiative.
Peace is not just a word, it is a responsibility. It begins with conversations. It grows through understanding. And it survives when communities stand together.
Together, we choose unity.
Together, we choose respect.
Together, we choose peace. 🤝
