National Apology Day 2022

Apology Day 2022 

Narromine Shire Council together with Narromine Local Aboriginal Lands Council (LALC) held a flag raising ceremony at Council’s Chambers on Friday 11 February to acknowledge National Apology Day.

National Apology Day is an annual event to mark the anniversary of the apology to Australia’s Indigenous peoples by former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd on 13 February 2008.

Whereby the former Prime Minister apologised for past laws, policies and practices that have impacted Australia’s First Nations Peoples, particularly members of the Stolen Generations. 

Narromine Shire Council General Manager Jane Redden said ’While we are unable to meet with a large capacity of people for this event in 2022, we were fortunate to recognise the significance of this day with key Council and LALC representatives.’
