Reconciliation Week

The City of Canning remains committed to reconciliation. Our vision for reconciliation is one of unity and equity, built on genuine relationships with, and respect for, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

This year, Reconciliation Week runs from 27 May to 3 June 2026. The City celebrates important dates like National Reconciliation Week, which acknowledge and/or celebrate the history, culture and achievements of our Whadjuk Noongar, Noongar and wider Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Canning and beyond.

The theme for National Reconciliation Week 2026 is All In, a call for all Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation every single day. All In makes clear that reconciliation is not a spectator sport and that all of us must step away from the sidelines and take action to make change.

The theme also reminds us that reconciliation and advancing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ rights isn’t a passive activity, and it is not solely the responsibility of First Nations people, who have carried the weight of championing, explaining and acting for far too long. Reconciliation will not happen by itself, and it will not happen without all of us.

Here are some of the events that the City will be running as part of the Reconciliation Week celebrations:
