Carriacou and Petite Martinique are getting ready for the celebrations of the nation\u2019s 50th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary of independence.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

The decorating of the main port of entry, the Tyrrel Bay Port managed by the Grenada Ports Authority, has begun with support from the Grenada Tourism Authority.<\/p>\n

Assistant to the Port Manager Dexter Leggard said they are playing their part to ensure locals and visitors alike can feel a sense of pride and love for country when they disembark from the various ferries. The decorating, he added, will help to encourage everyone to participate fully in the planned activities spearheaded by the Local Organising Committee led by Amanda Jack.<\/p>\n

The full participation of citizens and visitors in the twin-isle parish in the golden jubilee celebrations is being encouraged as this marks a significant milestone in the nation\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

A church service at the Scared Heart Roman Catholic Church in Petite Martinique is scheduled for Sunday, 14 January at 9 am, and people from Carriacou are invited to join with the MV Paradox that is providing free transportation from Windward. This will be followed by a Fun Day at the Petite Martinique Playing Field.<\/p>\n

The next activity is an ecumenical church service at the Lauriston Mini Stadium on Sunday, 21 January at 9 am. It is hoped that all denominations on Carriacou and Petite Martinique will participate in the service.<\/p>\n

Other activities for the 50th Independence Anniversary celebrations include a best village competition; a primary schools\u2019 quiz; Minister\u2019s Gala and Award Ceremony; and a military parade in Petite Martinique on 31 January, followed by Carriacou on 1 February.<\/p>\n
