Monday, July 20th, 2009

Launched last Saturday on 18th Jul 09, the National Orange Ribbon Celebrations (NORC) 2009 symbolising racial harmony and friendship was organised at Bishan Active. The movement aims to encourage the public from all walks of life to appreciate and celebrate our cultural diversity.

The event was graced by Guest Of Honour, Minister Mentor Lee. With the Singapore Youth Olympic Games (SYOG) just but a year away, sports formed the team of the celebrations –   cultural diversity through sports. This was to also enourage youths to actively participate in such community outreach programmes and raise awareness on some of the games and the atheletes that will feature during the SYOG.

SWF was proud to be given the opportunity to participate in and play its part in the celebrations.
