Reconciliation Week 2026 in the Mount Alexander Region

Posted on 18 May, 2026 by Lori

Reconciliation Week follows Sorry Day (26 May) running from May 27 to June 3 each year. This years theme, All In for Reconciliation, is a reminder that it’s the responsibility for all people who call this beautiful continent home to learn the shared histories of this land and contribute to building cultures that can celebrate the leadership of First Peoples and support their self determination.

Reconciliation Week events and Sorry Day in Mount Alexander region – at the foothills of Liyanganyuk Banyul – are coordinated by Friends of Nalderun in partnership with Nalderun Education Aboriginal Corporation, Mount Alexander Shire Council and a diverse range of local organisations. There is a large vary of activities and events to learn more and get involved including Sorry Day commemorations, school sessions and film screenings.

Included this year is a special event in Guildford on Sunday 31 May, Guildford Biyal (Red Gum) Honouring Day celebrating the Guildford Big Tree. The day will include a Welcome to Country, Djaara Women’s dancers, launch of the Reconciliation Seat (crafted with timber from the fallen limb of the big Biyal), free BBQ, music, First Nations stalls and more!
