The Australian Olympic Committee alongside the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries are hosting a community engagement opportunity in Margaret River on the 18th of October - as part of the Olympics Unleashed program touring the South West region.

The Olympics Unleashed program is returning to the South West after a successful visit in 2021. The program has a regional focus where Olympians and aspiring Olympians travel to regional locations across Western Australia to engage with local communities and share how they set goals, overcome challenges, and demonstrate resilience throughout their athletic journey.

Here in the South West, we are lucky enough to have two very experienced athletes coming to the region.

Aleisha Power:

Current Hockeyroo (Goalkeeper)

2022 Commonwealth Games Silver Medalist & 2022 World Cup Bronze Medalist

There will be banners up to ensure attendees can easily locate the activation sites.
