The City of Armadale welcomed 95 new citizens at a special ceremony to celebrate Australian Citizenship on Australia Day.
Armadale Mayor Henry Zelones said January 26 is an especially important day for those choosing to become Australian Citizens, as they take the final step that shows their commitment and loyalty to this country and their local community.
“This Australia Day, new citizens were from a diverse collection of countries, including the United Kingdom, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Sri Lanka, China, Zimbabwe, Iraq and India.
“I congratulate and welcome the newest citizens to the City of Armadale and on behalf of the local community wish them well as they take this important step to officially join the Australian family.
“Australia has always been enriched by the cultures and traditions of its new citizens, and I am certain that these latest additions will make an enormous contribution to our rich cultural diversity and help to shape our country’s future,” Mayor Zelones said.
