We know you regularly use public transport to get to the community centre, school drop offs, getting groceries and so much more.

Grey really does matter!

Today local residential aged care homes took on the challenge to become Grey Matters Olympics Champion (Congratulations The Good Shepherd Home).

And sure there was glory and trophies on offer. But more importantly there was fun, community, getting active and supporting one another - there was even some great-grandchildren there cheering on some participants.

A huge thank you to
selectability for helping us bring the Grey Matters Olympics to life in 2026
Fulton Hogan - for your generous support and volunteers
Ignatius Park College - for your team of volunteers
And to all our fantastic Community Gro / ACVVS volunteers.

Shout out to Adam Baillie MP, Nick Dametto Mayor of Townsville, Cr Suzy Batkovic, Councillor Brodie Phillips, Liam Mooney for Division 9, Councillor Kristian Price - Division 4 for coming down and taking part with us.
