Description

NEW DATE - Rescheduled to 17 August 2021 due to COVID-19 Restrictions

Please join the City of Wanneroo community in recognising NAIDOC Week 2021 by attending the Flag Raising Ceremony. This Ceremony will involve a Welcome to Country, formal Flag Raising, speeches from special guests and a dance performance by a local Aboriginal dance group. Following the conclusion of the Ceremony proceedings, attendees will have the opportunity to socialise and connect with others in the community over a light lunch.

The Flag Raising Ceremony is a symbol of the respect and appreciation that the City of Wanneroo has for its local Aboriginal heritage, culture and community. It provides the City with the opportunity to recognise the 2021 National NAIDOC Week theme of ‘Heal Country!’ This theme calls for all peoples to continue to seek greater protections for Aboriginal lands, waters, sacred sites and cultural heritage. It invites non-Aboriginal people to embrace Aboriginal people’s cultural knowledge and understanding of Country as part of Australia’s national heritage.

RSVP: Please register your attendance by Tuesday 10 August 2021. Please advise of any special dietary requirements upon registering
