Make time for the Hawkesbury Regional Museum’s important group project, Bangadyi Nawi, on Saturday, 18 November 2023 on the Museum.

Everyone is inspired to take part within the collaborative occasion by the Museum, the Dharug Community, and the Brewongle Environmental Education Centre.

The Welcome to Country ceremony might be led by Erin Wilkins, adopted by an Official Opening by Hawkesbury Councilor and Deputy Mayor Barry Calvert at 11:30 AM.

“The venture has provided a transformative expertise for local Aboriginal high school college students who created a standard canoe during an inter-generational camp, led by Elder Uncle Dean Kelly and with Uncle David Payne and Dharug Educator Erin Wilkins,” the announcement indicated.

“As a new exhibit, the canoe will shape learning opportunities for the entire group.”

The Saturday occasion is freed from charge and can be booked on-line via Eventbrite: Celebration of Bangadyi Nawi and Opening of Canoe Exhibit. Light refreshments might be offered.

The Museum was also nominated lately on the IMAGinE Awards 2023 by the Museums & Galleries of NSW for its engagement program known as “Bangadyi Nawi Making Making a Canoe.”

Bangadyi Nawi & Museum Opening of Canoe Exhibit is positioned at 8 Baker Street in Windsor.
