Barbadians in diaspora invited to 'Come Long Home'

Government is moving ahead with plans to invite Barbadians in the diaspora to come home next year. Minister in the Prime Minister's Office Senator Dr. Shantal Munro-Knight says the Secretariat for We Gatherin' 2025 will officially start on Monday to coincide with the Independence activities. The theme for the initiative is "Come Long Home". Senator Munro-Knight says Senator John King, who has a wealth of experience working within communities, will be along those leading the effort. She explains that St. Lucy will kick off the We Gatherin' activities in January, while St. Michael will be the last parish to host events in November. Senator Munro-Knight says all the parishes have been assigned a colour and theme. In addition, from November 30 to December 31, 2025 there will be an islandwide celebration under the theme "Family and Friends".
