National Reconciliation Week Event
To Reach Across The State
|
|
This year’s National Reconciliation Week (NRW) runs from 27 May to 3 June, with the theme Be Brave. Make Change. In the spirit of this theme, WALGA is partnering with Reconciliation WA to provide a unique opportunity for WA Local Governments to get involved in the NRW program.
A State-wide NRW Virtual Breakfast is calling for one million Western Australians to join this exciting event, to be hosted at Boola Bardip (WA Museum) on 27 May. The virtual breakfast will broadcast live with the aim of engaging communities across the entire State.
To complement the virtual breakfast, every Local Government will receive a free NRW Activation Box
What is in the box? Find out about the box and state-wide event at the online Sector Briefing, 2:00pm on Wednesday, 13 April. Register here.
