Cardinia Shire Council invites the community to a Flag-Raising Ceremony on Monday 29 May to commemorate National Reconciliation Week in 2023.
The event will include a Welcome to Country, raising of the Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and Australian flags and speeches by guests and Cardinia Shire Mayor, Councillor Tammy Radford.
Following the event, guests are invited to afternoon tea and a range of fun activities for children and families.
“This event provides an opportunity to bring Cardinia Shire residents together to build stronger relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous community members,” said Councillor Radford.
“Reconciliation is an ongoing journey that reminds us that while generations of Australians have fought hard for meaningful change, future gains are likely to take just as much, if not more effort.”
The event take place on Monday 29 May going from 11am to 12.30pm at the Cardinia Shire Council Offices, Bunurong Country (Officer).
The Council says everyone is welcome, there will be light refreshments provided by a well-known Aboriginal caterer.
