On behalf of all Victorians, I send my very best wishes to the Victorian Lebanese Community Council on your 17th anniversary.
For decades, Victorians born in Lebanon have come to our state to start anew, working hard to build a better life for their families.
Today, our Lebanese community – made up of those migrants, their children, and grandchildren – enriches Victoria every single day.
The Victorian Lebanese Community Council highlights those positive contributions. You encourage strong community connections, and promote a fair, diverse, and culturally-rich Victoria.
Thank you for all that you have done to make our state all that it is.
Enjoy the 17th anniversary celebrations.
Hon Jacinta Allan MP
Member for Bendigo East
