Acknowledgement of Country
Members of SA Quilters recognise the traditional owners of the country where we live. We celebrate the diversity of Indigenous people and their enduring culture and connections to the land and waters of Australia.
Policy – Catastrophic Day
Where a Government department declares a Catastrophic Day of any type, all SA Quilters organised activities will be cancelled.
Background – November 2020:
A planned country group leadership meeting was cancelled. People were concerned about leaving home on what was declared a Catastrophic Heat Day. All groups were contacted but it was decided that a policy for the future was required. Groups have been encouraged to adopt the same policy.
