🕯️ Candlelight Vigil and Moment of Silence for Nepal❤️❤️

Our hearts are shattered by the devastating floods in Nepal, which have taken many precious lives and left countless families grieving. Among those we have lost are Nepalese citizens, tourists, and pilgrims from different countries—each one a beloved member of a family whose absence will be felt forever.

In this time of unimaginable pain, the Riverina Nepalese Community invites everyone—Nepalese and all other communities—to come together for a candlelight vigil and moment of silence.

📅 Date: 1 September 2026
🕠 Time: 5:30 pm
📍 Venue: Victory Memorial Gardens, Wagga

Let us stand side by side, light a candle, share the sorrow, and honour every beautiful life lost in this heartbreaking tragedy. Though we may be far from Nepal, our hearts are with our homeland and with every grieving family.

Your presence will be a symbol of love, unity, prayer, and hope during this darkest time.

May every departed soul rest in eternal peace, and may the grieving families find strength and comfort. 🕯️🙏

Every five years, the Australian Bureau of Statistics counts every person and household in Australia.

This is called the Census of Population and Housing.
The Census form asks questions about your age, country of birth, cultural background, living situation, work and education.

Census data is used to inform decisions about transport, schools, health care, infrastructure and business.

It also helps plan local services for individuals, families and communities.

The Census is compulsory.

Everyone in Australia on Census night must be included on a Census form.

Do you need help filling in your Census form?

Officers from the Australian Bureau of Statistics will visit the Multicultural Council of Wagga Wagga (18 Station Place) to sit with you and guide you through the form step by step.

There will be some in-language support provided within these sessions (Arabic, Burmese, Dari, Farsi, Hindi, Yazidi - Kurmanji, and Tibetan)

Tuesday 11th of August 10am - 3pm
Friday 14th of August 10am - 3pm
Tuesday 18th of August 10am - 3pm
