In celebration of Reconciliation Week 2019, Wirraka Maya is hosting the ‘Be at your Best Basketball Competition’ at Wanangkura Stadium.
The event, which is supported by The Town of Port Hedland will take place from 8.30 am – 5.00 pm on Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 June.
To nominate your team for the competition, please fill out the nomination form and return to Wirraka Maya.
Mayor Camilo Blanco said he liked the idea of a basketball competition as it’s a point of difference from previous years.
“The Theme for National Reconciliation Week 2019 is ‘Grounded in Truth: Walk Together With Courage’, which ultimately means that trust and truth is the basis for all strong, equitable relationships.
“Reconciliation is about strengthening the relationship between Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander and non-indigenous peoples, and what better way to do that than a bit of friendly competition.
“The competition is a great way to bring the community together and commemorate such an important week on the Australian calendar.
“There will be cash prizes to be won over the weekend, and lunch will be provided for both days of the event.”
