With its theme of ‘mind, body and soul’ the 2009 Floriade spring festival is proving a natural partner for the Australian Sports Commission (ASC), which will sponsor this year’s event.

Annually, more than 400 000 people visit the southern hemisphere’s largest spring festival in the Australian Capital Territory and this year the ASC will have a strong presence throughout the 30-day event.

Between 12 September and 11 October, the ASC’s Community Sport programs will showcase a number of activities with structured games and sports being delivered almost every day.
