Leaders Reflect on Significance of National Sorry Day

A message from the Mayor, Cr Daniel Moloney on behalf of the City of Ballarat “National Sorry Day (May 26) is significant to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities not only in Ballarat but around our nation. This day is one of remembrance and commemoration. It reminds us of the immense hardship and treatment endured by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, who were forcefully removed from their families as part of official government policy; and the impact this had on their families and communities. These children are now referred to as the Stolen Generations. We acknowledge the ‘Bringing them Home Report’ that was tabled in Parliament on 26 May 1997 that included a list of recommendations for the Australian government to move towards reconciling past wrongs.
