Blue Mountains People for Reconciliation/Blue Moutains ANTaR is a combined group of Mountains residents who support the "Blue Mountains Aboriginal Culture and Resource Centre" and the "Gundungurra Tribal Council" in the area.
We hold fundraising and education events and reconciliation gatherings in the Mountains at the request of, or in conjunction with, these two groups.
We are a group of aboriginal and non-aboriginal Blue Mountains residents who meet on a monthly basis to discuss and take action in relation to a broad range of issues, locally and at a state and national level. These issues include recognition of the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians, challenging racism, lobbying for welcome to country and acknowledgment of country at all civic and community events in the Blue Mountains.
The group has been operating since 1997 and is always open to new members. Our meetings are usually held during the day on Fridays. If you are not able to attend meetings you can go on our email list. A GetUp! Reconciliation group has recently been formed by some of our members.
Please feel free to get involved by coming along to meetings, or making contact with any of our contact people
We welcome you, your comments, your ideas and your participation in our efforts to achieve reconciliation and social justice.
Venue for all meetings:
MCRN meeting room in Lawson Library building, crn Badgery’s Cres and San Jose Ave, Lawson (opposite Lawson Bowling Club)
