Reconciliation Day 2021 community grants open
Reconciliation Day has become a significant date on the Canberra calendar. The Reconciliation Day Grants, which are now open, will support the community to organise events and activities which promote Reconciliation in the ACT.
The Reconciliation Day Grants provide funding for initiatives to be held in the lead-up to, during, or in support of the Reconciliation Day Public Holiday on 31 May 2021.
Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs Rachel Stephen-Smith said, “Reconciliation Day is about sharing an understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures, reflecting on our shared history and acknowledging what needs to be done to build a better future. It is a day which recognises that Reconciliation should be part of everyone’s story.

February 13 each year marks the anniversary of the National Apology to the Stolen Generations, who suffered trauma because of past government policies of forced child removal.
Many of these removals occurred as the result of laws and policies aimed at assimilating the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population into the predominately white community.
Stolen Generations survivors are some of Australia’s most vulnerable people and many have kept their stories and experiences secret for many years, even decades.
One such story comes from Stolen Generations survivor Aunty Julie Black, a 64-year-old Barkindji woman, who was taken from her mother shortly after birth.

For all its challenges, 2020 demonstrated the importance of innovation, resources and leadership to protect and support our communities and countries.
