"The 10th of October is a day for us to reflect on St. Maarten becoming its own country"
The Prime Minister of St. Maarten the Honorable Sarah Wescot-Williams extended an invitation to the General Public on Friday to reflect on and attend Constitution Day on Wednesday the 10th of October.
The Prime Minister stated that in the yearly calendar, Constitution Day marks the time when St. Maarten left the constellation of the Netherlands Antilles and became its own Country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. " The 10th of October is a day for us to reflect on St. Maarten becoming its own country. Despite the challenges always associated with constitutional change we have indeed come a very long way and made significant strides in country building. I therefore urge the community to come out and celebrate Constitution Day on Wednesday," commented the Prime Minister.
Constitution Day will be celebrated on Wednesday starting with an Ecumenical Service at the Saint Simon and Jude Anglican Church on Backstreet at eight thirty. On Wednesday evening there will be a Constitutional Celebration at the Clem Labega Square starting at six.
