WA Week (18–24 October 2010) is a state-wide initiative that provides a vehicle for organisations, groups, communities and individuals to celebrate and express pride in Western Australia, highlighting the achievements, attributes and potential of the state and its people.

When it comes to celebrating the very best of WA, sport and recreation is worthy of a strong showing and the Department of Sport and Recreation (DSR) is calling on sport and recreation clubs and organisations to hold their own events during the celebrations.

For more information on WA Week, visit the Celebrate WA website.

State-wide exposure
