Hornsby Area Residents for Reconciliation group is located in the bushland shire of Hornsby which includes traditional lands of the Guringai and Darug Peoples.

We began meeting regularly in 1999. We seek to promote the exchange of information on issues relevant to Reconciliation; create opportunities for sharing knowledge, resources and expertise; lobby for recognition and social justice for Indigenous people; and promote the local community’s understanding of the rights and contributions of Indigenous People, appreciation of Indigenous cultures, and celebration of the presence of Indigenous residents in our community.

We receive some financial support from Hornsby Council and combine with Council for a number of activities such as Children’s Voices for Reconciliation, which takes place every year during Reconciliation Week in the Hornsby Mall. We also promote public education about Indigenous topics through public meetings and workshops in the local area, stalls at community events and excursions to places of interest.

We meet on the third Wednesday of each month (6.30 – 8pm) at the Hornsby Art Gallery, 208 Pacific Highway, Hornsby.
