Infrastructure Secretary, Trevor James said it is crucially important to pay homage to those that have inspired us over the years. “Tobago, does not only have a proud heritage but also a collection of legends that have made their marks on the international stage; and psyche of what it means to be Tobagonian. We are a great people deserving of honour, and as an Executive and citizenry, we owe it to them to recollect, recognise and celebrate, as a joint expression of gratitude, and for younger ones to see and be inspired as well,” James said.
A live transmission of the ceremony at the Scarborough Esplanade, will be available on the Division’s Facebook page @DIQUDWORKS. The public is invited to tune in.
