Kaniva OPTIMISM

​CENTRE FOR OPTIMISM DECLARES KANIVA AUSTRALIA'S MOST OPTIMISTIC TOWN!

​Victor Perton from the Centre For Optimism was so impressed when he stopped in Kaniva and noticed something different about the town, that he decided to investigate some more. The town was in the middle of the pandemic and had been devastated by border closures. He assisted KDPA to explore Kaniva's Optimism and through a fun night at the Commercial Hotel sponsored by WWSC's social connection grant. Thanks also to Stuart Grimley MP for the freebies he donated to the evening.
