ACTCOSS, the Gulanga Program team and the Dhunlung Yarra Service team from Relationships Australia Canberra and Region would like to invite you to come and share in some time for reflecting on this traumatic era which is embedded in our Australian history. This year we would like to do something different in getting the stories across to the broader community about the effects of trauma, and in this case intergenerational trauma. This year we will have some Aboriginal people from across the generations come together and recite some poems written by survivors that describe how it felt to be left powerless about what was happening to them as human beings and having no control over it. There will be other performers on the day that will allow you to share the strength and resilience of Australia’s First Peoples. This will be a catered event so please stay and enjoy a light lunch with us. Please keep this date and time free to come and experience a wonderful portrayal of resilience that allows many Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people to work through the grief experienced while maintaining their integrity through these traumatic times.

Page 3 of 21 Healthy Canberra Grants: Focus on Reducing Smoking-Related Harm This grant program is seeking applications from community-based groups for programs that focus on preventing and reducing harm from smoking. Tobacco smoking remains a leading cause of preventable death and disease in Australia. Quitting smoking, at any age, has immediate benefits for health and wellbeing, and reduces the risk of developing tobacco- related disease. Preventing or delaying the uptake of smoking in young people not only has direct health benefits but also greatly reduces their ongoing smoking behaviour as adults. Healthy Canberra Grants: Focus on Reducing Smoking-Related Harm aims to fund programs that: • reduce the number of people in population groups with a high prevalence of smoking • prevent or delay the uptake of smoking • prevent the harms associated with electronic cigarettes and other new smoking products There is up to $850,000 in funding available to support programs of up to three years duration, commencing in the 2020/21 financial year. Applications are due by 4pm 17 February 2020. For more information, including accessing the application form and funding guidelines, please visit the ACTHPGP’s webpage at www.health.act.gov.au/hpgrants, call us on 5124 9456 or email [email protected].

  • President's Annual Report – 2013-14
    President’s Annual Report Christopher Watson (August 2014)– 2013-14 Your Committee Team Thanks to you all, especially our Secretary, John Connelly, for his meticulous minutes. Our treasurer, Doug Finlayson, not only keeps our finances in good shape, but also regularly writes a ‘Park Update’ with great pictures (these articles have also been printed in the magazines of the ACT National Parks Association and National Trust). The help of Vice President, Brian Rhynehart, and also Vena Murray, was much appreciated. Darryl Seto, our webmaster, ensures information goes far and wide! Darryl is also organising an art exhibition to be staged at the Belconnen Arts Centre in 2015. Our Patron, Dr Bryan Pratt, was ever willing to have a chat and give advice; we now look forward to advice from our new Co-Patron, Meredith Hunter. We’ve had deputations a-plenty, namely, ACT Assembly Members, Yvette Berry, Mary Porter, Mick Gentleman, Shane Rattenbury and Alistair Coe; also Federal Members, Andrew Leigh MHR, Senator Zed Seselja and Angus Taylor MHR. There have been continuing contacts and help, from the ACT National Trust, ACT National Parks Association, Ginninderra Catchment Group, Belconnen Community Council and the Conservation Council; also, frequent meetings with local landowner and developer, David Maxwell, who is the director of Riverview (Projects) Pty Ltd National Park Investigations As a result of our urging, the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service in 2013 assessed 274 ha in the area centred on Ginninderra Falls and near the Murrumbidgee River – Ginninderra Creek confluence. Their report, received by us in November 2013, acknowledged the area’s “conservation and recreational opportunities”, but unfortunately, said that it was “not a priority for purchase”.

    [Grab your reader’s attention with a great quote from the document or use this space to emphasize a key point. To place this text box anywhere on the page, just drag it.] Released 19 September 2020. Updated 14 October 2020 1 Foreword from Chief Minister Andrew Barr In these uncertain times, ACT Labor has the right plan to support Canberra and protect local jobs. We understand that a large part of our job, is to protect your job. ACT Labor has always recognised that employment means more than putting food on the table and being able to pay the rent or mortgage. It provides meaning, structure, connection and opportunity in people’s lives. That’s why our plan is to grow Canberra’s employment base to 250,000 jobs by 2025, as part of our economic recovery. ACT Labor is progressive, experienced and has a strong track record of delivering on our promises. We built a network of five nurse-led walk-in centres to provide free healthcare, where and when you need it. We delivered Stage 1 of our city-wide light rail network, on time and on budget. We’ve built new schools and continued to upgrade the schools we know and love. Our city is now powered by 100 per cent renewable electricity, which is driving down energy bills. We delivered a green waste bin to every household that wanted one. Despite the bushfires and COVID-19 pandemic, the ACT still has the strongest labour market and lowest unemployment rate in the nation. The Canberra economy remains resilient, but we will keep working with local businesses to give them confidence to invest and hire.
