Bridging Now To Next This National Reconciliation Week

NRW 2025.png

This year's theme, 'Bridging Now to Next', invites us to honour the journey of reconciliation. One that honours the past, embraces the present and builds for the future.

Inspired by the resilient native plants featured in this year's artwork by Kalkadoon woman Bree Buttenshaw, we are reminded of the strength found in adversity and the possibilities of renewal.

At Council, we're marking the week with a range of activities to reflect, learn and act. These include a staff low-key Lunch and Learn session featuring 'Going Places with Ernie Dingo' highlighting Aboriginal-led education and a discussion facilitated by Mayor Damien Gallagher as well as participation in the wawa dharrang Cultural Immersion Experience.

We're proud to support activities like boomerang painting at Yea Library. Drop in anytime during NRW to decorate your own boomerang and pick a book from our First Nations display to take home. No bookings needed and everything you need is provided.

Let's continue our journey of reconciliation, grounded in truth, strengthened by respect and guided by connection.
