On November 8, the Virgin Islands Fire and Rescue Service accepted a donation of 10 chainsaws from "YouCaring"

The Disaster Recovery Coordination Committee (DRCC) of the Government of the Virgin Islands continues to move forward swiftly with finalising the long term development plan for the Territory. 

Minister for Education and Culture, Honourable Myron V. Walwyn has labelled it ‘an act of kindness that goes beyond business but rather speaks to humanity’ following the donation of a semi-permanent 4,000 square feet schooling facility on Virgin Gorda.

The staff and students of the Primary Division of the Bregado Flax Education Centre in Virgin Gorda had a special start of their academic year today with the donation of a 4000 square feet semi-permanent structure that will be used as their temporary school.

Officers from the Virgin Islands Fire and Rescue Services have recommended the Project Uplift group support sessions offered exclusively for public officers. 

I once again take the opportunity to welcome all to the start of the 2017/2018 academic year and to address educators, parents, students and the general community.

Residents, friends, public officers, I am Rosalie Adams, Acting Governor of the Virgin Islands and I am pleased to deliver this week’s update on the recovery efforts in the Territory following the passage of Hurricanes Irma and Maria.

An across-the-board Stop Notice on all final works on buildings across the Territory is being enforced by the Building Authority.
