Crowne Plaza Canberra acknowledges the Ngunnawal people, the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we are located. We pay our respects to Elders, past, present, and emerging, and recognise their enduring connection to land, waterways, and culture. We honour the traditions of the Ngunnawal people, who have gathered and met on this land for countless generations, and we acknowledge their ongoing role as meetings continue to be conducted today.

As part of our commitment to supporting the local community and culture, we encourage incorporating practices and we proudly recommend engaging with the following services:

· Welcome to Country: Delivered by a Traditional Custodian, this formal welcome extends safe passage and highlights the cultural significance of the event.

· Smoking Ceremony: A cleansing practice that uses smoke from native plants to emphasise connection to the land and invites positivity and productivity.

· Cultural Walking Tours: Explore the land and its stories through the eyes of the Ngunnawal people, learning about rich local history and cultural practices.

For more details or to book these services, we recommend visiting ngunnawal.org. Partnering with these local providers helps deepen cultural understanding and supports the preservation of Ngunnawal traditions.
