The Cann Valley District community united on Thursday to mark five years since the bushfires of 2019/20. Five Years On: A Celebration of Recovery and Resilience served as a moment to reflect on the emergency event and the long and, at times, arduous journey to recovery and to highlight the achievements of the community, volunteers, businesses, and local organisations in the region's renewal.
