We must admit, we’re pretty rubbish at recycling sometimes (also at puns). But when we do remember to take along that reusable coffee cup, pop rubbish in the right bin or drink a paper straw without complaining, we feel like we’re doing our ‘little bit’.

National Recycling Week is a reminder to not be lazy and do your best for the planet, we only have one.

One of our dearest and longest clients, Good Shepherd Lodge & Kerrisdale Gardens, recently revamped their website and it was our pleasure to lead the design and construction!

We had a blast working together with Steve Coulter from Coulter Consult and Photos By Nell to strengthen their digital presence and truly showcase their fantastic facilities, residential care, community involvement and allied health services for both aged care and the community at large.

From their cafes, to their social events and in-home care, they are a full service provider driven by the ethos of 'positive ageing'. We wholeheartedly agree with the testimonials and feedback from both residents and staff who say GSL and Kerrisdale Gardens is a homely and welcoming community.

Thank you to Greg, Nathan and the team for entrusting us with this project and we look forward to continuing our work in the future.

We're so excited that Mackay has a new FREE local newspaper! Mackay and Whitsunday Life, available now online and at a number of distribution points.

Hi Mackay!

Here's tomorrow's FREE newspaper.

Locally owned, community loved.

On the cover: Ken Higgins OAM was a typical 19-year-old in 1969. Growing up on a farm he was used to handling a weapon to hunt rabbits and pigs. He didn’t realise how much he would rely on his upbringing when he was called up for conscription on his twentieth birthday.

Later that year, Mr Higgins would watch one of his mates die beside him in the jungle of the Nui May Tao Mountains during a significant operation to locate a large cache of enemy weaponry. But it wasn’t his time in Vietnam that led to Mr Higgins receiving the Order of Australia medal on Australia Day, but his 50 years after the war of membership, mateship and service with the RSL supporting other veterans.

This significant achievement recognises and celebrates outstanding Australians, ordinary people who do extraordinary things for their local community and for Australia. So, how did he celebrate? With ‘a couple of jars’ at the bowls club.

Ken is exceptionally passionate about the welfare of veterans and their families. He is currently a driving force behind getting an RSL built here in Mackay so veterans have a social place to gather.

Read his story on Page 4 of tomorrow's paper.

Congratulations to Emmet from Emmett 4 Animals on his Australia Day awards nomination. This is a great cause to get behind!

Where do I begin?

There are so many feelings I want to express in this message. Gratitude... Appreciation... Humility. But thankfulness is the emotion which was, and still is, so prominent within me.

I am thankful for the support of my junior school teachers and mentors for nurturing the spark within me for change and pushing me to my potential, whilst assisting where necessary. I am thankful for the people within the animal welfare industry who paved my path in the beginning of our journey - teaching me, mentoring me and guiding me through the rough times, while savoring the good. I am thankful for my family and friends - the relentless support, unconditional love and genuine drive for change. Their capacity to bring joy in the darkest of moments is unrivalled, and their guiding flame has lead Emmett4Animals to the place it is today. And most importantly, I am thankful for our Mackay community. Thank you for sharing your time, money and animal food with us. I cannot begin to place a metaphor on how much I am grateful for your kindness and generosity. The collective work of the Mackay region has raised cats from a poor life, saved dogs from euthanasia and instilled smiles and happiness to many more animals. Your small gesture, your one can of animal food or your afternoon of help is felt. Not only by us here at Emmett4Animals, but all the starving, lost or abandoned animals of Mackay. They are the unheard voices. And you... are making them heard.

There was little part of me, at age 5, that thought I would be standing and addressing the Mackay community as a whole, after being recognised on such an extraordinary scale on behalf of my charity, Emmett4Animals. Nowhere did it say that a simple action could lead such a monumental change. No one told me to do it... There was an issue, and I attempted, through effort and determination, to make a positive change in my world. Recognition was not expected with accepting the Emmett4Animals mission. This though, is what makes me humble, thankful, grateful and appreciative of being the 2021 Young Citizen of the Year.

Without getting overly sentimental... *wipes tear from eye*... Emmett4Animals would not be at the current place it is without the support of the Mackay community. Despite the corny nature... it is 100% true. You're kindness and generosity is unrivalled and I could not be more thankful to live in city which exhibits just that.

Emmett4Animals has big goals for the 2021 year. Changes. Ideas. And plans. However, we will still strive for our mission to support lost and abandoned animals of Mackay.

Remember, kindness wins.

We celebrated our favourite Aussie-Canadian's birthday today! 🥳

So of course, we showered him with gifts... like Australian brands, a vegemite card and caramello koalas... possible some very, very subtle hints that we want him to stay, eh? 😉

Happy Birthday, Chris! We love having you in our DC fam 🖤
