Minister for the Arts, Joy Burch recently announced the Top 100 Canberra Likes.
The campaign was launched in October 2012 to find the top 100 reasons why locals like living in the ACT.
Minister for the Arts, Joy Burch explained that people nominated almost 14,000 reasons why they like living in the ACT. These ‘likes’ were sorted into a number of categories, and earlier this year the community was asked to vote.
“After two months of polling, where almost 135,000 votes were received, we have finally arrived at our ‘Top100’. The list includes an amazing variety of people’s favourite places, activities and experiences – a real indication that there is so much to do and see in our city.” Minister Burch commented.
