This handover ceremony this morning marks the fourth school building that we are able to open from among the buildings that were deemed unusable after the 2017 disaster.  Immediately following the 2017 disasters, we assessed all school buildings and classified them as usable or unusable. Using that information, we were able to make several appeals for assistance from the business community, private donors and other organisations. We have benefitted greatly as a ministry from the public-private partnership that we share with the business community and today is yet another example of the benefits of this initiative.  

I am happy to be here today to celebrate with all of you – students, teachers and parents.

My fellow Citizens:  I come before you this evening for my final official speech as Premier of this Territory.

I am pleased and have the privilege to be in the right place at the right time to honour a gentleman who has contributed greatly to his country, the British Virgin Islands.

This Scope of Works for this activity forms a request for interested landowners (individuals and firms) to propose their site to be the location at which vessels will be staged (known as the Staging Area).

Welcome to Government House for this joint press conference with the Supervisor of Elections Ms. Juliette Penn.  

Immediately following the passage of Hurricane Irma, on September 11 I held a meeting with the Territory’s insurance providers and one with the Territory’s banks.

I join with all educators and by extension the people of The Virgin Islands as we celebrate the life of two stalwart educators, Mr. Gordon Junior Dennis Callender and Mrs. Lucia Walters, both of whom were instrumental in shaping the lives of many young persons in this Territory and also building of the Education System.
