International Children's Games

The signing of the official 2014 host city agreement between Lake Macquarie and the International Children's Games will take place today, marking a key phase in the lead up to the December event.

The Games will include a range of track-and-field events at the Hunter Region Sports Centre, as well as water polo at Speer's Point Pool.

Two thousand 12 to 15 year old competitors from 40 countries are expected to participate.

The event aims to promote cross-cultural friendship, tolerance and world peace.
