Prime Minister Hon Dickon Mitchell, who participated in the celebrations on the 586-acre island, said the golden jubilee of independence is a time to reset, reflect and reshape the next 50 years of Grenada. Despite our differences, citizens must stand together as one people for a better Grenada, the Prime Minister said.<\/p>\n
