Meet at Gladstone Road Car Park in Blackwood for an 11.30 start and walk with Aboriginal leaders, Stolen Generation Survivors, former residents of Colebrook home and community members to Colebrook Reconciliation Park (about 2 km).
You will be able to enjoy:
• Smoking Ceremony and Welcome to Country from Auntie Susie Roberts
• entertainment from local pre-school and school children
• speeches from Aboriginal Elders and community leaders,
• Music from the amazing and much-loved Nancy Bates!
For Children:
There will be children's activities linked to the "All -in' theme of Reconciliation Week, and Auntie Ros Cameron will also be present to lead children through her creative art activities.
Food and Drink:
There will be a sausage sizzle (including gf and vegetarian) and a coffee caravan, or you can BYO food and drink.
A Raffle!
This year we have been blessed by donations from many local businesses to support the 'All-in' theme, so we will have a raffle with multiple prizes to be drawn at 1.30.
A Talking Circle
Will occur after the entertainment to allow community members to engage in sharing concerns and learning about the complex issues impacting the high levels of Aboriginal Youth incarceration so we can all think about how we can take informed action to support change.
You are also welcome to attend at Colebrook without joining the Walk. If you need assistance to access parking because of mobility issues please email [email protected]
