This Week in the Can

Posted on 1 June, 2020

Things are changing rapidly in Canberra as we work together to keep our community safe.

For more than nine years we’ve published This Week in The Can—a round-up of events around the ACT. But we are living in extraordinary times.

We encourage you to keep physical distance between each other, as we battle COVID-19 and work together to continue to flatten the curve.

Here are some of our ‘must-read’ articles from the past week.
