6 Family Drug Support Remembrance Ceremonies – 25th Anniversary Tony Trimingham, OAM, CEO 2022 marks the 25th anniversary of our first Remembrance Ceremony, which remembers people who have lost their lives to drugs. In-person ceremonies were held in Nundah in Queensland, Brompton in South Australia and two New South Wales ceremonies held at Kings Cross and Ashfield. Everyone who attended found them to be meaningful and moving. Special thanks goes to the following speakers at each of these events; they delivered very powerful and moving messages: Deborah Jones provided her powerful emotive artwork for viewing at the Queensland ceremony; the Honourable Linda Burney MP delivered the Acknowledgement of Country at the Ashfield event; and Reverend Bill Crews and staff graciously hosted our Ashfield event at the Ashfield Uniting Church.
