Employees from AGL’s Loy Yang A power station came together last Friday to unveil a collection of artworks by local Aboriginal youths on display at the station for NAIDOC Week.
In line with this year’s NAIDOC Week theme ‘Heal Country!’ the artworks were designed by members of the Latrobe Youth Space to reflect how country is inherent to identity and sustains all aspects of our lives including spiritually, physically, emotionally, socially and culturally.
More than 40 Loy Yang employees attended the event which included a Welcome to Country by Gunaikurnai elder Uncle Lloyd Hood, a smoking ceremony and the raising of the Australian, Torres Strait Islander and Aboriginal flags.
