Carriacou & Petite Martinique Affairs
Hillsborough, Carriacou, October 30th, 2009- Government, which is about to construct a berthing terminal in Carriacou as part of efforts to improve ferry service being offered by Osprey, is to receive local assistance with the project.
Minister for Carriacou & Petite Martinique Affairs, Senator the Hon. George Prime, has announced that the Grenada Credit Union League has given a commitment to assist in the development of the Osprey berthing terminal.
He made the announcement as he joined members of the credit union fraternity in Carriacou & Petite Martinique in the observance of International Credit Union Day.
Minister Prime noted that despite the world economic crisis, credit unions – which have just celebrated a month of activities as part of Credit Union Month – continue to stand among the world's economic pillars.
Reflecting on the theme, “Your Money, Your Choice, Your Credit Union”, he said the movement is growing from strength to strength.
The Senator’s remarks were echoed by Pastor Standford Simon, President of the Grenada Credit Union League. He said that the future of the movement in Carriacou & Petite Martinique looks strong, pointing to the number of students who participated in this year’s Credit Union Day activities.
Meanwhile, Harvey Vale Government won the schools’ division of a quiz competition held as part of the observance of Credit Union Month. Rohan Compton of Dover Government School was adjudged the best student of the quiz.
