The observance, normally held at the end of February, was rescheduled to March so officers could provide the needed security for the attendees of the high- level OCTA Conference held in the Territory this week.

Under the year’s theme, “Remembering our past, embracing our future and affirming our commitment to work with our communities,” organisers have a mix of events planned with the customary crowd-pleasers – the International Food and Drink Night, Pool Competition and Food Night and Bingo Night carrying a jackpox of $3,000 - all at the Road Town Police Station.

This year’s model students and members of the community will recognized and presented with awards during the week.

This year’s opening church service will be held in Virgin Gorda at the Sanctuary of Hope New Testament Church of God in South Valley on Sunday, March 22.
