Maitland & District Cricket Association acknowledges and pays respects to the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the lands, the Wonnarua Peoples, on which we are privileged to live, work and play the great game of cricket. We recognise their spiritual and ongoing connection to Country, culture and community. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present.  

​

We reflect on cricket’s unique history with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in our region, dating back to the mid 1800s and celebrate the participation of First Nations peoples in all aspects of our sport. We are committed to listening, learning, deepening meaningful connections with First Nations communities and authentically contributing to our nation’s reconciliation journey. We are committed to creating inclusive environments for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in all areas and levels of the game.

 

Maitland & District Cricket is committed to creating safe and welcoming environments for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to engage with all aspects of our sport.
