Merry Christmas Virgin Islands! I’m Myron V. Walwyn, Minister for Education and Culture and your Territorial Representative. It gives me pleasure to bring greetings to one all as we celebrate the birth of our saviour, Jesus Christ during this 2016 holiday season. 

Season’s Greetings, I am Dr. Kedrick Pickering, Member for the Seventh District and Minister responsible for Natural Resources and Labour of the Government of the Virgin Islands. On behalf of the Ministry, I would like to take this opportunity to firstly, wish you and your family an exciting, magnificent and tranquil Holiday Season. I would also like to take this opportunity to send a special holiday greeting to the people of the Seventh Electoral District, who have placed their faith and confidence in me over the years. I will continue to do my best to serve them and our utmost to improve our community and by so doing, continue to build this great little Nation.

Already the feel of the Christmas Season is with us. 

Christmas and the turn of the year is a special time; a time of celebration, a time to give thanks and a time for reflection. A time to celebrate the love and friendship of family and those close to us, to celebrate our achievements, both as a community and individually with those who have helped and supported us along the way.  Christmas is also a time to look back over the year that will be drawing to a close.

The Member for the First District to ask the Honourable Minister for Communications and Works the following questions:

It is indeed my pleasure to give opening remarks at the start of this very important consultation

My fellow BVIslanders and Residents:

As we begin the last month of the year, it is essential that I update you on the state our Territory, our economy and our public finances.

This is a time of challenge not just here in the BVI, but all around the world.

I have joined the Honourable Premier, Dr. D. Orlando Smith, on several occasions, as we completed negotiations with local contractors, through the Procurement Process, to carry out rehabilitation works to our roads and bridges infrastructure.

I acknowledge that the appropriate recognitions have already been made, and simply wish to say, a warm Virgin Islands good afternoon to one and all.
