International People with Disability Day Celebration
December 3rd 2019
Tuesday 3rd December 2019
10.30am - 12.30pm
At Marble Bar CRC, Francis St. Marble Bar
We've received a grant for IDPwD day from the Department of Communities!
With the help of the Shire of East Pilbara staff from the Marble Bar office and staff from Marble Bar Primary School, Marble Bar CRC are putting on a fun day of activities and a shared lunch to celebrate people with disability.
We'll be having a BBQ lunch (with Outback Beef hamburgers!) and games designed to raise awareness about living with a disability, with HEAPS of wicked prizes to give away!
We are planning one-handed challenges and a one-legged race, as we have local people affected by these physical disabilities. With their input, we'd like to promote compassion and understanding around some of the difficulties they face in their day-to-day.
In addition to the games, we will also use the day as an opportunity to ensure information relating to local disability support services is prominently displayed. We will also highlight the local access and inclusion initiatives that have been implemented or have been announced by our local Shire over the past year, as they are currently seeking feedback on their Disability, Access and Inclusion plan.

History of the Marble Bar Races
This famous event has been held annually in July since 1893, it attracts an ever increasing crowd of between 2000-3000 thousand people. With a track surrounded by spinifex, red hills and a dusty two-up ring, the Pilbara comes together with miners, workers, families and travellers from across the world joining with locals and all the crew from Pilbara Stations near and far. The early days of racing were supported by district bred horses and a two day meeting was held until the early 70's when professional jockeys and registered race horses came into being. Over the years Marble Bar has been seen as a very successful 'picnic race' day, it is an event simply not to be missed!
