The day was very special for the team and the KSGAC was the only social justice float in the Parade and one of three Indigenous groups highlighting their roles in the community. On the KSGAC float the Link-Up and Redress staff hand-painted signs, streamers and Healing Art murals were proudly displayed.

Local participant Betty Dixon said the day was very special.

“To have so many people wave to us felt good. We all walked and felt strong. To have our children with us felt right.”
