commitment to the rule of law – Ethnic Council of Shepparton and District

Friday, 17 September is Australian Citizenship Day. Australian Citizenship Day is a chance for all of us to reflect on what it means to be an Australian citizen and to celebrate our values, our diversity and our richness of spirit. More than 140 citizenship ceremonies will take place across the country (many virtually) and more than 7,000 people will become citizens.

	The Ethnic Council of Shepparton and District acknowledges the Yorta Yorta People of the land which comprises the Goulburn Valley. We pay respect to tribal Elders, past, present and emerging and we celebrate their continuing culture and acknowledge the memory of their ancestors.
	The Ethnic Council of Shepparton and District is a peak body whose mission is to promote and represent the social, cultural and economic well-being of ethnic communities in the Goulburn Valley Region through the provision of quality and innovative settlement, refugee support, community development, and information and advocacy services.
