Everyone is invited to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as NAIDOC Week returns from Sunday 5 to Sunday 12 July.
This year recognises the 50th anniversary of NAIDOC Week and the theme 50 Years of Deadly, a tribute to the Elders, artists and organisers who created and supported NAIDOC Week.
"NAIDOC Week gives us the chance to celebrate the knowledge, culture and achievements of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, while giving everyone the opportunity to come together in celebration," Mayor of Campbelltown Darcy Lound said.
"We're very lucky to share a strong connection with our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities here in Campbelltown and it's wonderful to once again mark this important milestone with a program of community events to get involved in," Cr Lound said.
"I strongly encourage everyone to join us in celebrating 50 years of NAIDOC Week this July," he said.
Locals are invited to join a Community Flag Raising Ceremony held at the Campbelltown City Council Forecourt from 9.30am on Monday 6 July.
