This afternoon I attended a presentation at the Immigration Museum hosted by the Premier John Brumby, as the Minister for Multicultural Affairs and James Merlino, as the Minister Assisting the Premier on Multicultural Affairs.

The Maroondah Interfaith Network was formed in November 2009 and provides a forum for Maroondah’s diverse faith-based communities. The Maroondah Interfaith Network was one of the recipients of a $8,800 grant, which will be used by the group to strengthen its capacity and provide professional development.

It is great to see a commitment towards the Maroondah Interfaith Network and the State Government supporting the group and Council in supporting diversity within the community.
