The City of Stirling has postponed its Paw-some Day Out after canine parvovirus was detected in the community. The event was due to be held this Sunday at Grindleford Reserve in Balcatta, and the city called it one of its most anticipated community events. The city says the virus is highly contagious and potentially deadly, so postponing was the only responsible option. A new date has not yet been confirmed. Karrinyup Small Animal Hospital has introduced precautions, with vets assessing and testing dogs outside the clinic while wearing full protective equipment.
Organisers have postponed the Global Voices Multicultural Festival, which was due to be held at Charles La Trobe College in Macleod West this Sunday, 25 October. Forecasts of showers, possible thunderstorms and strong winds prompted the decision, as the venue lacks enough undercover space to keep people safe. Organisers plan to hold the festival in early 2027 and are considering 7 February, 21 February or 14 March. Schools will keep their places in the program, and no new registration is needed. The organisers say they remain committed to a safe and inclusive event.
