Council commemorates Sorry Day for 20th consecutive year
City of Whittlesea today commemorated National Sorry Day and reflected on the forced removal of Aboriginal children from their families, communities and country, as well as the ongoing suffering experienced by descendants of the stolen generation.
Chair Administrator Lydia Wilson highlighted the importance of the day for Council’s leadership, staff and community members.
“Acknowledgement is so important, but today is really about apologising,” Ms Wilson said.
“We are apologising for the policies of past parliaments and governments that have brought immense suffering and loss to Aboriginal communities here, in what we now call the City of Whittlesea, and around the country.
