Madam Speaker, Members of the House of Assembly, ladies, and gentlemen, good morning.

As Governor of the Virgin Islands, I am honoured to deliver this Speech from the Throne on behalf of His Majesty King Charles III.

A pleasant good morning. I am pleased to have another press conference to keep the public informed. My update today is on my official visit to the United Kingdom which concluded yesterday.

The Government of the Virgin Islands is aware of misinformation that is posted by Guavaberry Media Inc. on Facebook and is being circulated via social media about Premier and Minister of Finance Dr. the Honourable Natalio D. Wheatley’s recent travel to the United Kingdom.

Good day to all the beautiful people of the Virgin Islands.

I greet you today with a heavy heart upon hearing the news of lives lost within our Virgin Islands community.

It gives me great pleasure this morning to witness and be a part of this Contract signing and Groundbreaking ceremony for the Joint Marine Shore Base Building. We can all agree that this project is another one that is well overdue. 

Cabinet Meeting – 14th December, 2022

His Excellency, the Governor Mr. John J. Rankin, CMG, chaired the Meeting held on 14th December, 2022 at the Premier's Conference Room, Cutlass Tower.

Good afternoon to all the beautiful people of the Virgin Islands.

I am extremely pleased that we are finally able to break ground for what is perhaps one of the most revolutionary and transformative initiatives in Anegada and in the Virgin Islands as a whole. This is a major step in our transition to green and sustainable energy.

During the Premier’s One-on-One Update on Current Matters Press Briefing on 6th January, 2023, a question was asked about the hiring of three persons to the Government of the Virgin Islands. 

A pleasant good morning to all. The completion of the ESHS Redevelopment project, signifies a major investment in the infrastructure that supports education in the Virgin Islands. After 5 school years and one term, the full complement of staff and students of the Elmore Stoutt High School finally returned to the same campus, for full day school for the first time since the storms of 2017. In this moment, at this time, the gratitude and pride that I feel as an alumna, former teacher, now Minister, is unexplainable.

Good morning to all the people of the Virgin Islands; persons present and those joining us on the airwaves and via the Internet, and members of the media.
