Unley 2026 National Reconciliation Breakfast.

When: Wednesday 27 May, 6:30am for 7:00am start
Where: Living Choice, 123 Fisher Street, Highgate

https://actionnetwork.org/ticketed_events/unley-national-reconciliation-week-breakfast?source=direct_link&&link_id=0&can_id=072d73d896d93c120483cea595f87235&email_referrer=email_3222336&email_subject=your-special-invitation-unley-allies-breakfast&

Your purchase of a ticket for $50 covers the cost of the venue and breakfast. We are not undertaking this as a fundraiser. Our interest is in extending participation as broadly as possible.

Please only buy one ticket with each booking as we need each breakfast order as part of purchasing your individual ticket. 50 tickets have been released and 18 have been purchased already. Our maximum capacity is 80 people.

If you would like to sit at the same table with family, friends or colleagues, just nominate a table name in your booking and ask others to nominate the same table name. We will make sure you get to sit together. This is an opportunity to invite others to take a first or further step in walking with First Nations Peoples.
