Imagine Bermuda has joined with a host of community groups, with the aim of sparking unity in an area of the Island recently beset by violence.December 11 will be Yes Day at Warwick’s TN Tatem Middle School “a free and fun opportunity for the Bermuda family to rally together to restore our sense of community”, according to Imagine member Glenn Fubler.“The challenges experienced recently by the Warwick area are well-known,” Mr Fubler said, referring to October’s fatal stabbing of Malcolm Outerbridge along the railway trail in Warwick.“The idea for this day is for the community to come together, affirming their connections and making new connections especially young people,” he said.The 1pm to 7pm Sunday event follows on a similar collaborative day of fun held at Whitney Institute in May.Students from Warwick Academy and the Bermuda College joined with representatives from PHC, Warwick Workman’s Club and Paget Community Club for a daylong event featuring music, murals, motorcycles.Said Mr Fubler: “It’s not just the event of the day, but the whole process of getting public and private schools together, old and young. That, we feel, is important.”Competitions in dance and hip-hop drew heavily on the teen component of the planning team.Bermuda College student Shakir Amory, who sits on the planning board, said he looked forward to the music although he probably won’t have time to perform himself.Recovered from a road crash last year that left him badly injured, an enthusiastic Mr Amory told The Royal Gazette: “It’s for all ages, and the music will be across genres. There will be choir music, gospel, and the rap competition. I’ve managed a few rap groups and I know most of those musicians on the Island.”Rappers Buzby, Cree, Infamous Nerds, Mac, No Talent Records and Royal Family are so far billed to perform.“This event is bringing Paget and Warwick together and children from across Bermuda closer,” Mr Amory said.Organisers said that while all are welcome, their focus will be on uniting residents “from Trimingham Hill to Camp Hill” to be both entertained and challenged.The Yes Day has already drawn community leaders: Governor Sir Richard Gozney has accepted an invitation, Mr Amory said, and representatives from Bermuda’s political parties have also been asked to enjoy the day.Explained Mr Fubler: “Bermuda has a tradition of a ‘rally’ joining across boundaries to help the whole. This is how many homes were built in the past, by neighbours and friends. We all know how we ‘rally’ in response to hurricanes.”On December 11, he said, Bermudians can rally “to restore our Island”.
