Ms Clarke will give a keynote address at the Mulwala ceremony about the foundation which empowers communities to build relationships with people who live with intellectual disabilities. She started the business in 2016 for her son Will who lives with Autism.
"We are honoured to have Ms Clarke attend our special Australia Day Awards and ceremony at ClubMulwala, as well as help present the Citizen Awards and Student Achievement Awards during the official ceremonies,” Federation Council Mayor Patrick Bourke said.
“We look forward to hearing Ange’s talk about her son Will and how they have empowering and uniting communities through art, ability and inclusion for the last 25 years.”
The Australia Day Ambassador Program is one of the longest running and most successful national Australia Day programs sending high achieving Australians to over 300 community celebrations nationwide every Australia Day. Ambassadors are past recipients of the Australian of the Year Awards, sportspeople, scientists, businesspeople, actors and community workers who contributed greatly to the community.
Australia Day is a time for all Australians to come together to reflect, respect and celebrate. It is a day to reflect on the past, present and future – to think about where we have been and where we are going as a nation, a day to listen to each other and respect each other’s stories and contributions and it’s a day to celebrate together and celebrate being Australians.
“Australia Day offers a great opportunity to come together as a community, and to recognise the contributions and efforts of those in our community,” Mayor Bourke said.
“I encourage all residents to join us at ClubMulwala on Australia Day as we take the opportunity to recognise and celebrate the achievements of individuals in our local communities and the many things, we love about living in the Federation Council.”
