Event to kick off NAIDOC Week
NAIDOC Week activities kick off this Sunday and Tablelands Regional Council is ready to celebrate with a flag-raising ceremony and morning tea on Monday.
Locals are being invited to celebrate NAIDOC Week on the Tablelands through activities across the region and a flag-raising ceremony and morning tea at 10am on Monday.
“We are inviting everyone to our ceremony to celebrate and recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples,” Mayor Rod Marti said.
“NAIDOC Week is an opportunity to learn about First Nations cultures and histories, and participate in celebrations of the oldest, continuous living cultures on Earth.
“As a council, we are committed to playing a critical role, in partnership with our community, in establishing a clear roadmap towards a reconciled, just and equitable region.”
Monday’s ceremony will see the Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islands and Australian flags raised outside council’s office on Mabel Street from 10am.
Other groups and organisations are hosting celebrations and details are on the council’s events calendar (www.trc.qld.gov.au/trcevents) and everyone is encouraged to add their events.
