Today we remember and pay tribute to those who bravely served our country. Some returned and many did not.
The spirit of the ANZACs, the qualities of courage, mateship and sacrifice, continues to have meaning and relevance for Australians and has become part of our sense of national identity.
In particular today, we will remember our own family members who fought and died.
Lest we forget.
Today we celebrate language! It's World Book and Copyright Day and English Language Day (as well as both the birthday and date of death of William Shakespeare). Language is about more than just words and pesky grammar rules. Language is a connector; it builds communities and tells a story. Whether in literature or in business, we need words to connect with the audience. There's no better day than this to assess the impact of your business writing and how you're communicating with your customers. Are you connecting?
As #EarthDay2019 comes to an end in Australia, we're looking forward to a week of climate action during Climate Week QLD, 2-8 June.
It's the greatest environment challenge facing our generation, it seems fitting that Climate Week QLD will showcase Queensland's transition to a low-carbon, clean growth future.
Brisbane will become "climate central" with representatives from throughout the Asia-Pacific region meeting to share their thoughts on how to address and adapt to climate change. This will also include a visit by former US Vice President Al Gore.
You can visit qoo.ly/wwa4v to find out more on how you can get involved. We're excited to be involved and encourage you to be as well.
