ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – As part of October’s Cancer Awareness Month of activities, some members of the government were photographed today, October 27, 2023, in shades of pink as they demonstrated their support for breast cancer awareness.

Pictured from left to right in a post from the Government information Service (GIS) are Minister for Communications and Works, HonKye M. Rymer (R5); Minister for Education, Youth Affairs and Sports, Honourable Sharie B. de Castro(AL); Deputy Premier and Minister for Financial Services, Labour and Trade, Honourable Lorna G. Smith (AL) OBE; and Premier and Minister of Finance Honourable Dr Natalio D. Wheatley (R7).

They each wore a shade of pink during their Cabinet session today.

In October, there is also heightened awareness around efforts to educate those concerned about breast cancer, including early identification and signs and symptoms associated with breast cancer.

    It’s nice that they are wearing pink in support of this cause. However, I would prefer to hear more about how they are supporting persons afflicted with cancer and the advocacy work surrounding cancers in general.
