Easter blooms: Michael Dunkley presents flowers to residents of the Sylvia Richardson Care Facility during a visit to St George’s this week

Michael Dunkley has called for community reflection and togetherness this Easter.

Admitting that this month’s immigration reform furore had proven “challenging”, the Premier added: “As a country, we are emerging from what can be considered one of the most difficult times in recent memory.

“As we reflect on the meaning of this holy weekend, I consider this an opportunity for our entire community, Government included, to reflect on recent events.

“It serves as an opportunity to embrace lessons learnt and find ways to heal our divisions so that we can progress together, as a people and as a country.”

Mr Dunkley visited St George’s this week to spread goodwill, meeting with residents of the Sylvia Richardson Care Facility and stopping by the Sweet SAAK Bakery.

He was joined by his wife, Pamela Dunkley; Jeanne Atherden, the Minister of Health, Seniors and the Environment, and area MP Kenneth Bascome.

Mr Dunkley said: “The unique traditions that we celebrate over this holiday period are foundations which bind us together. I encourage everyone to remember that.

“It’s these bonds of shared traditions and experiences that can help bring us together.

“I want to encourage all of Bermuda to enjoy their Easter activities and I wish everyone a safe and happy weekend.”
