Councillor Kevin Lam - City of Fairfield

Last weekend, NSW SES Fairfield Unit hosted its Open Day alongside a number of our emergency service partners. 🚑️

A huge thank you to Darren Eurlings, Thien Dinh, the SES team and every organisation that took the time to engage with our community and share their expertise. 🙌🏽

On Sunday, I had the privilege of representing Mayor of Fairfield Frank Carbone at the Annual Lunar New Year and Blessing Ceremony at Freedom Plaza.

Thanks to the Australian Chinese Buddhist Society and the Chinese Associations of Western Sydney for the invitation and allowing me to share a few words. It was my first public address at Freedom Plaza.

Standing where I once walked as a young boy, I shared my journey from my recent travels through China to the deep gratitude I hold for my parents’ journey. As we celebrate the Year of the Horse and take part in the blessing proceedings, it’s also a moment for self‑reflection and honouring our families.

Incredible day at Council’s Lunar New Year Celebrations🧧✨

It was also a pleasure to join ABC Radio with Mayor of Fairfield Frank Carbone for an interview to talk about the importance of this celebration to our community.

I had the absolute thrill of lighting the firecrackers to kick off the celebrations🐎 🧨

Yesterday with Mayor of Fairfield Frank Carbone, we took part in the Lunar New Year celebrations with the CASS Care Vietnamese Cabramatta Senior Group! 🧧✨

As someone of Vietnamese heritage, it was an honor to join our seniors to commemorate such a cherished occasion. From the incredible traditional dancing by VietAus Cultural Exchange Organisation - VACEO to the joy of handing out red envelopes.

Wishing everyone a prosperous and healthy Year of the Horse as we head into a month of celebrations! 🐎

Last Friday evening, The Canleys officially launched in style with festivities, performances and fireworks.🥳

Canley Vale and Canley Heights is now a designated Special Entertainment Precinct, allowing business and activities to flourish later through the night.

Thanks to NSW Government, Canley Heights Nights Association, Canley Vale Little Asia Association, incredible Council staff and many others involved in making this possible. Well done.

📷 Thanks Cabramatta and Canley Heights Night

On Saturday morning, I was delighted to be part of the official opening of Tina & Po Cafe in Canley Vale with Mayor Frank Carbone and Federal MP Dai Le.

“Po Cafe” began in the iconic Café Apartments in Vietnam and has since expanded to four more locations across the country. Building on that success and staying true to its authentic beginnings, Michael and his wife Tina decided to bring the brand to Sydney, blending it with Cabramatta’s An Nhien Vegetarian restaurant (Michael's mum as well!).

A big shout-out as well to the Yun Yee Tong Dragon & Lion Dance team for continually supporting and performing at so many openings.

Big thanks to the Mounties juniors for letting me have a few shots on goal! ⚽️

The other week had an awesome time unveiling the brand-new synthetic fields at Endeavour Sports field and Fairfield City’s Wall of Football Champions which celebrated the amazing players and coaches who’ve represented Australia and proudly came from Fairfield City! These includes players like Harry Kewell, Paul Okon and Tony Popovic.

This initiative was proudly funded by the NSW Government and Fairfield City Council.
