This week (4-11 July 2010) is NAIDOC week. NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia each July to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. NAIDOC is celebrated not only in Indigenous communities, but by Australians from all walks of life. The week is a great opportunity to participate in a range of activities and to support your local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community

The Salisbury Council has published a list of events which they are supporting during the week, which include:

• The NAIDOC Art Exhibition “Kuwaritja: From Now” at the John Harvey Gallery, daily from 5th to 25th July
• The NMAC Basketball Event, 7th July from 10:30am to 3:00pm at the Gardens Recreation Center
• The NAIDOC Family Fun Day & Disco, 9th July from 2:00pm to 8:00pm at the St. Jays Recreation Center
