Be a Voice for Generations is the theme of national Reconciliation Week, which starts today, Saturday 27 May.

A huge range of activities across the Fleurieu will celebrate Indigenous history, culture, and achievements.

They will also commemorate two significant milestones in Australia’s reconciliation journey – the successful 1967 referendum, and the High Court Mabo decision.

The theme of Be a Voice for Generations calls on all Australians to act today to tackle the unfinished business of reconciliation, with workplaces, schools, community organisations and families encouraged to take part.
