RESIDENTS at Bibra Lake’s Lakeside Village took part in an event with fellow residents to celebrate Neighbour Day.

Held on the last Sunday in March, the event brings together the community for a drink and some food to build better relationships with the people who live around us.

The local village held a Neighbour Day luncheon where residents spoke about the role of neighbours in their lives.
