Stand in solidarity & goodwill with First Nations (Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander) peoples on this day as we mark reconciliation week with a reflective vigil.
Join us as we gather to reflect on this city's First Nations history, First Nations peoples lived experience and what the coming years may hold.
Despite recent government policy changes, truth-telling continues; the telling of First Nations history, colonisation and its impacts, youth justice, deaths in custody, Closing the Gap, racism and continuing to advocate for our aspirations to heal and support wellbeing.
