Reconciliation WA NRW Breakfast Karratha

May 27 @ 7:30 am - 10:30 am AWST

We’re calling upon all West Australians, no matter where you live or work, to join in solidarity with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and get involved in National Reconciliation Week (NRW) 2024 – coming up from 27 May to 3 June.

The theme for NRW 2024, Now More Than Ever, is a reminder to all of us that no matter what, the fight for justice and the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people will – and must – continue.

Reconciliation WA is pleased to present the NRW Karratha Breakfast, in collaboration with the City of Karratha.

Join your local reconciliation community for a buffet-style breakfast, before tuning into the NRW Breakfast Broadcast from Boorloo Perth, to reignite the fire in your belly for another year of reconciliation action.
