Have a beary good time

This Christmas in Hume kids of all ages are invited to create their very own Christmas bear.

It’s a teddy-tastic adventure that promises laughter and holiday cheer.

The free make a bear activity is running at Aitken Hill, Newbury, and Mickleham South community centres on weekdays.

Hume mayor Cr Naim Kurt said that this and the many other free activities available to families throughout the festive season were an important part of ensuring everybody has a great Christmas in Hume.

“Addressing the challenges of cost of living and financial capacity is a key priority for Hume City Council,“ he said.

“Over the past year, we’ve witnessed an increase in attendance at free outdoor events, which may be because of the lingering effects of COVID or a heightened value placed on cost-free activities during these challenging economic times.

“As a result, Council is offering a number of free, high-quality Christmas activities, that aim to bring families and community together in their own neighbourhood.“
