Premier Dr Natalio Wheatley announced that Cabinet has already established a committee that is tasked with proposing a list of national heroes for elected leaders to consider.
“These are individuals whose feats are so incredibly noteworthy and special that they deserve recognition on a national and historic basis. Once Cabinet approves the proposed list along with the corresponding protocols, the House of Assembly will have the opportunity to debate a resolution which will officially designate these individuals as national heroes,” Premier Wheatley said in an official address to the territory on October 17 – Heroes and Foreparents Day.
