Lens on Biodiversity Exhibition

Thank you to everyone who explored the stunning collection of photographs capturing the animals, plants and natural spaces that make Canning unique.

The exhibition ran from Wednesday 22 October to Sunday 2 November, and we were thrilled to see so many community members enjoying the creativity on display throughout its duration.

We also received many wonderful responses to our People's Choice award, and the Winner will be announced soon on our Facebook page.
