25.01.2022 It's National NAIDOC week! To celebrate #NAIDOC2020 (8-15 Nov) the Australian Institute of Sport 'Share a Yarn' initiative saw our Team Australia - Sprint/Slalom athletes come together with traditional landowners at the Gold Coast to celebrate and explore this year’s NAIDOC theme, Always Was, Always Will Be. Together with Triathlon Australia, our athletes shared a yarn with the traditional landowners to learn about the land in which their Daily Training Environment (DTE) e...xists, its history and significance, and to build relationships with the indigenous community in the region. Full story: https://paddle.org.au//athletes-learn-indigenous-history-/ Share a Yarn this week too and explore the land around you, which always was and always will be, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander land! We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands and waterways we train and paddle on and pay our respects to their Elders, past, present and emerging. #theais #shareayarn2020 #NAIDOC2020 #alwayswasalwayswillbe #reconciliation Paddle Australia | Queensland Academy of Sport | Australian Olympic Team | Australian Paralympic Team | Susan Seipel - Paralympian | Curtis McGrath - Athlete | Alyce Wood - Athlete | Alyssa "Aly" Bull | Tom Green | Riley Fitzsimmons | Murray Stewart | Lachlan Tame | Cat McArthur |

This decision will need to be reassessed if travel restrictions or State border situations change/do not change as expected. Padle Australia and PACSLTC would like to thank both local organising committees for their commitment to assessing the viability of the respective competitions given the challenges brought in 2020.
