National Apology Day (13th February)

tyme Senior Contributor Banned 16 Feb 2025, 8:55 pm AEDT

National Apology Day (13th February)

13th February marks National Apology Day.

This is a significant milestone for the healing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, many of whom were, and are, affected by the forceful removal of children from their families.

Please see the attached videos from the Kinchela Boys Home 100th Anniversary Event.

Here is a clip shared during the event: https://vimeo.com/1019684902/5e27da1223
