Celebrating Rhea Simmons
We are proud to share that Rhea Simmons recently graduated from Waterloo University, having completed the Honours Co-op program in
Environment, Resources and Sustainability. Her journey is one that began as a high-school student, sponsored to study in Ontario. Rhea’s achievement is a testament to her drive and determination. Please join us in congratulating her on this impressive milestone.
Judy Simmons Memorial Scholarships
This year, three outstanding students were selected as the first recipients of the Judy Simmons Memorial Scholarship: Tyrese McIntosh, Kylia Ollivierre, and Reneé Sandy. Now completing their first university terms under the program, we look forward to sharing more about their journeys in the months ahead and are honoured to support them as they pursue their studies.
Christmas gas canister distribution
Preparations are underway for our annual holiday gas canister distribution, which provides them to households across the island during the Christmas season. If you'd like to cheer a family with a canister this year, reach out to me at the contacts below.
Looking Ahead
As we move into the final months of the year, we’re preparing for our annual review and setting priorities for 2026. Upcoming projects include:
- Expanding our nutrition security program
- Increasing the spots available for day care, adding locations in new communities across Bequia
-
Welcoming the Viatores Quartet, a string quartet that will be performing and doing outreach on St Vincent, Bequia and Canouan.
Your input and ideas are always welcome—please reach out if you’d like to get involved or support an initiative close to your heart.
Warm regards,
