Celebrating Canberra
The Canberra Centenary Swimming Competition is one of 51 community-based projects funded through the Centenary Community Initiatives Fund. The Fund has allocated over $1m to community projects. Centenary Creative Director, Robyn Archer AO says: 'It feels great to be welcoming the Special Olympics competitors to Canberra in this Centenary year. These people represent the very best of the human spirit, as they strive for personal best every time: it’s an aspiration that the national capital should symbolize for all Australians.'
