In 2008, Lake Macquarie became the first Australian city to participate in the International Children's Games and in 2010 the council won the bid to host the 48th Summer International Children's Games.
Now, nearly four years later, there are 100 days to go until the world comes Down Under for the first International Children's Games to be hosted in the southern hemisphere.
To celebrate this milestone, council is today hosting a School Torch Relay that will see students from 26 local schools run from Warners Bay Lions Park to Speers Point Park.
To mark the end of the relay, Speers Point Park will come to life with fun and entertainment featuring Mia Sifflet performing the Games theme song, Never Give Up.
Without the help of the volunteers, committee members and our sponsors this event would not be possible.
I hope you share in the excitement and come along to the Speers Point Park celebration today.
