NAIDOC Flag raising Mildura Council

Council NAIDOC Flag raising Mildura Rural City Council and the Aboriginal Action Committee (AAC) will hold a flag raising ceremony and morning tea next week to mark the beginning of NAIDOC Week. NAIDOC Week runs nationally from 4 July to 11 July, allowing Australians to come together and celebrate the rich history, diverse cultures and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the oldest continuing cultures on the planet. The theme for NAIDOC Week this year is Heal Country!, which calls on everyone to seek greater protection of Traditional lands, waters, sacred sites and cultural heritage from exploitation, desecration and destruction. To mark this year’s event, Council and the AAC will perform a flag raising ceremony in front of the Mildura Visitor Information and Booking Centre at 10am on Sunday 4 July.
