HARR is the local Reconciliation Group for Indigenous and non-Indigenous residents of the Hornsby area.

We work locally to raise awareness and advance Reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous residents, advocate for social justice and promote an appreciation of First Nations history, culture and heritage.
