Welcome to the official launch of Festival 2017. The Virgin Islands will commemorate 63 years of Emancipation Celebrations under the theme “A Colourful Kaleidoscope to be seen, Creating a Cultural Scene for Festival 2017”.   

In this era of emails, internet and virtual reality, there is something quite special about physically taking a message around the world. 

Today I welcome the presence of the Gold Coast 2018 Queen’s Baton, on behalf of my Government and people of the Virgin Islands.  

Good morning. As Governor of the Virgin Islands, it is my great pleasure to welcome you here today to this very special event.

Good morning,

I am pleased and honoured to join you, my fellow BVIslanders and residents in this annual celebration of Territory Day under the theme:  Territorial Awakening: Resilience in a Time of Challenge and Change.”   

It is a great pleasure for me, as your Governor, to hand over Certificates of Naturalisation to a total of 70 people who have made their homes here in the Virgin Islands. 

Please be advised that revised work permit fee structure will be implemented, effective July 1, 2017.
