Stand up for NAIDOC Week 2022!<\/strong><\/p>\n

This year, NAIDOC Week is to be held 3-10 July and\u00a0embraces the call to action:\u00a0Get Up! Stand Up! Show Up!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"NAIDOC<\/a><\/p>\n

NAIDOC Week is held every July across Australia to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.<\/p>\n

Blue Mountains City Council is showing support by inviting the community to a flag raising and smoking ceremony at 10am, Monday 4 July at Carrington Place.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe theme of this year\u2019s NAIDOC Week \u2013 Get Up! Stand Up! Show Up! \u2013 is a call for everyone to show support for our First Nations community,\u201d Mayor, Cr Mark Greenhill said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not difficult to find out about First Nations history, to learn some First Nations language, or re-share a post from a First Nations perspective that may help to enlighten others.<\/p>\n

\u201cI urge all of our Blue Mountains community to support NAIDOC Week by finding ways to acknowledge our Traditional Owners, or you can join us at the NAIDOC Week event. I look forward to see you there.\u201d<\/p>\n
