As the public is aware, the prestigious Global Privacy Assembly (GPA) is currently taking place in Bermuda at the Hamilton Princess.
The global forum brings together more than 130 protection and privacy commissioners worldwide.
The theme of this year’s Assembly is Ripples, Waves and Currents.
Due to inclement weather forecast for this weekend, the Ministry of Youth, Culture and Sport has decided to postpone the Gombey Festival Showcase until Saturday, 4 November, 2023.
Following discussions between the Department of Culture and key stakeholders, it was agreed that this event would be best manifested as originally intended as an outdoor event so as to accommodate the large attendance that the Festival has attracted in recent years.
Today, the Minister of National Security, the Hon. Michael Weeks, JP, MP, offered the following statement over today’s shooting incident in Hamilton: “I am appalled by today’s shooting incident and feel sorry for those who had to experience this terrifying event.
“This act of violence is reckless and puts innocent lives at risk, which is totally unacceptable in a civilised society such as Bermuda.
“I condemn this violence in the strongest possible terms and am confident that the Bermuda Police Service will apprehend those responsible for this heinous crime.

#2. Air Service Development and
#3. Air service development.
At the Ministry of Transport, our priorities have not changed.
