Our land acknowledgement
The City of Wrenford acknowledges that we live, work and gather on the traditional territories of Indigenous peoples who have cared for this land for generations, and we commit to learning and to reconciliation. This acknowledgement guides how we deliver services, plan community events, and share local history with residents. Our Reconciliation Policy sets clear goals for removing barriers in City programs and ensuring that Indigenous perspectives are reflected in our public spaces and archives.
