All Newsletters : March 2003 : Child Migrants' Memorial
Child Migrants' Memorial
The Commonwealth Government has said it will contribute up to $100,000 towards any suitable proposals for memorials honouring former child migrants which are initiated by State Governments in 2002-2003. The Commonwealth funding offer is in response to Recommendation 32 of the Senate Report on Child Migration Lost Innocents: Righting the Record
The WA Department of Community Development (DCD) intends to consult widely to develop a proposal which reflects the wishes of former Child Migrants living in this state.
The consultation process is based on the following questions:
Do you want a memorial?
Where do you want a memorial? (e.g. Fremantle, Perth, other suggestions)
What type of memorial do you want? (e.g. a plaque, statue/s, ship, mosaic etc – dependent on funding limit)
Content of memorial – what do you want it to say?
You can respond directly to the questions above or obtain an official questionnaire through C-BERS. Responses should be sent to Ms Alison Barber, 189 Royal Street, East Perth 6004. If you have any questions about the memorial, contact Alison on 08– 9222 2755 or email alisonb@dcd.wa.gov.au
