Governor Tim Foy
ANGUILLA–In his Christmas message, Governor Tim Foy says 2018 has been a good year for Anguilla in many ways. “While we still have much to do to fully restore our island and economy after the damage wreaked upon us by Hurricane Irma, we are well on the road to recovery.
All of us, in our distinct roles, have played a part in this and we can look back with pride and satisfaction. Thank you for your efforts. We still have much more to do and I commit myself to working with the government and people of Anguilla in 2019 to accelerate the delivery of repairs and new investment in our schools, health facilities and our transport infrastructure so we can complete the job we have embarked upon and together build an even stronger Anguilla.”
He spoke of Christmas as a time to spend with family and friends and to reflect on the blessings bestowed during the year. He said his wife’s parents would be coming for Christmas. “I know we won’t be alone in welcoming friends and family from near and far. To all who have come to share in the beauty of our island, I wish a happy, peaceful and blessed Christmas. We should treasure these moments as life is short and none of us truly knows what is round the corner.” He suggested that all should spare some thought and share the joy of Christmas with those who are less fortunate.
“Let us also remember – and be grateful – for the service of those in our community working through the holidays to keep us safe and well: the officers of the Royal Anguilla Police Force; the Fire and Rescue Service; the staff of Her Majesty’s Prison; our outstanding health professionals; those caring for our elderly; those keeping our air and sea ports functioning efficiently and safely; those who work hard keeping electricity and telecommunications running; and our broadcasters who keep us informed. Please raise a glass to them and say thanks.”
“Let me close by wishing each and every one a happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year. God bless us all and God bless Anguilla,” he concluded.
