2009 Theme: SHARING A JOURNEY OF HEALING
COMMEMORATE NATIONAL SORRY DAY & CELEBRATE THE APOLOGY - HOST A MORNING OR AFTERNOON TEA
The Historic National Apology initiated a new step toward the healing needed for Stolen Generations, their families and Communities.
It also united Australians through out the nation in a shared Journey of Healing. The National Sorry Day Committee invites you to join the Stolen Generations and thousands of other Australians who will gather through out the country and overseas for Australia's National Sorry Day.
Schools, Tertiary Education Facilities, Community and Business Groups, Spiritual and Faith Institutions, Government Departments and many others will participate in events and activities to acknowledge and commemorate the removal of thousands of First Nations Children of Australia through the racially discriminatory removal policies of past governments. In the spirit of the historic National Apology to the Stolen Generations on February13th 2008, the National Sorry Day Committee invites all Australians to come together and to share a morning tea or lunch as a way to commemorate National Sorry Day with the Stolen Generations and to Celebrate the Apology.
