NAIDOC week program
MEMBER for Cook David Kempton has welcomed NAIDOC Week celebrations across his electorate, highlighting the importance of honouring the culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
“NAIDOC Week, held nationally and internationally in the first week of July, is a time for all Australians to reflect on and celebrate the extraordinary contributions of all Indigenous peoples,” he said.
“It is exciting to serve such a diverse electorate and one of the benefits of a large electorate is that events will continue to be held throughout the entire month of July.
“NAIDOC Week is a time of celebration and reflection with the Crisafulli government supporting 10 events in the Cook electorate ensuring our communities can come together to honour the strength, vision, and legacy of its communities.”
Among the activities in Douglas Shire are:
July 17: Mossman Gorge NAIDOC community celebrations is an all-inclusive event for community members. The event will focus on a range of activities to maximise participation and involvement
