Sister Cities

Bayside City Council currently has 5 Sister Cities, namely: 
  • The Borough of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, United Kingdom
  • Palavas-les-Flots, France
  • Beaumaris, Wales
  • The Nazareth Area of Governments & the Nazareth Area Chamber of Commerce, USA
  • Cixi, China

Since 18 July 1992, the City of Bayside has had a well-established sister city relationship with the Borough of King's Lynn & West Norfolk in which is located the Royal Sandringham Estate.  In order to develop this link, the Council established the Bayside-King's Lynn & West Norfolk Friendship Association, Inc., comprising representatives from many organisations that have contacts within this English Borough.

In order to recognise the broader backgrounds of people in Bayside and create greater interest in the community, the Council approved the formation of the Bayside Sister Cities Association whose objective is to create a network of communities around the world committed to co-operation, friendship, understanding, continuing communications and joint activities, designed to improve the quality of life for all.

The aim of the Bayside Sister Cities Association is to develop links between schools, service clubs, churches, community groups, youth groups, businesses and individuals, and to encourage regular communication with counterpart organisations in each sister city.
