Toowoomba First Nations Allies

Listening – Learning – Connecting

Meeting 26 May

Fifteen members attended the meeting at the Toowoomba Social Justice Commission office. Apologies were received from fourteen who were unable to attend.

Members engaged in a community mapping exercise led by Lindy Abawi and Phil Armit. Lindy, Phil, and Lisa McInerney will collate the information and provide a report as soon as possible.

TFNA will hold a fundraising craft stall at the Farmers Markets (corner of Campbell and Lindsay Streets) from 7:00 am until 12 pm on Saturday 1 June. Proceeds will go to Adapt Mentorship, a community group supporting indigenous youth in Toowoomba.

We heard reports from members who attended a cultural burning, a meeting about updates to the Binangar centre at Cobb+Co Museum, a cultural program at Bunya Mountains, and more.

Meeting dates have been set until November to enable members to better plan for attendance.
