Free hire SunSmart marquee to community groups
Byron Shire Council is working with Cancer Council in NSW to foster a SunSmart community and has a large marquee for use at community events.
The 4.5 x 3 metre SunSmart Marquee is a generous gift from Cancer Council in recognition of Byron Shire Council’s efforts to raise community awareness about the importance of sun protection.
The SunSmart Marquee will meet a strong need in the community for shade shelters and in the long run could help to prevent skin cancer. Providing both sun and rain protection, the marquee will be available all year round for local sport and community groups to borrow free from the Council.
For more SunSmart information visit www.cancercouncil.com.au/sunsmart or call the Cancer Council Helpline on 13 11 20.
