Amid controversial ban, Tortola Pier Park CEO Dona L. Regis departs
In a letter to tenants and staff of Tortola Pier Park Limited (TTPL), dated Wednesday January 10, 2018 and obtained by our newsroom, Ms Regis said her contract with TPPL came to an end on January 5, 2018 and “has decided to pursue other professional opportunities while fulfilling personal commitments.”
In the same letter, Ms Regis said she will continue to work with the TPPL Board of Directors over the next few weeks to ensure a smooth transition, with her last day of employment at TPPL as CEO being January 31, 2018.
She related that prior to her departure, Mr Anghel George, Chairman of the Board of Directors of TPPL will communicate on the way forward relative to the park’s management.
“My term with Tortola Pier Park Ltd has certainly been a rewarding journey and I was honoured to be of service to you over the past (3) years. Together, we have nurtured Tortola Pier Park from construction phase to the award-winning shopping, dining and entertainment facility it is today. Your passion, drive and enthusiasm for your business has certainly contributed to the Park’s success as a local commercial hub and model cruise ship facility,” Ms Regis wrote in the letter.
Prior to taking up her post at TPPL, Ms Regis served as Director of Marketing and Product Development at the Saint Lucia Air and Sea Ports Authority for over seven years and provided consultancy services for several other Caribbean cruise ports.
Controversial Ban
The management of TPPL in December 2017 announced a ban on children 17 years of age and under from the Government facility unless accompanied by an adult who is at least 21 years of age.
Tenants of TPP were notified of the controversial decision in a letter dated December 15, 2017 from Ms Regis.
This had followed on the heels of Minister for Education and Culture Hon Myron V. Walwyn (AL) stating that students of Elmore Stoutt High School were "wreaking havoc" in Road Town and that Government was looking to end the shift system as a means of addressing the problem.
There have been much for and against the ban by tenants of TPPL as well as members of the public.
It was also reported to this news site that Hon Walwyn met with TPPL officials recently over the controversial ban but it is unclear at this time what came out of the meeting and whether the ban will be lifted or altered.

What does this have to do with anything? If they behave like human beings they will be treated as such, simple! There is something called PRIDE, not the fake stand behind a blog pride, REAL TAKE CARE OF YOUR @#$&*G COUNTRY PRIDE! That's what's lacking in this Territory and it's so sad.
