The Youth Choir added a taste of Bahamian folklore to the Opening Ceremony during a well received presentation. Their performance helped to set the tone for a major part of the discussion on day-one of the Meeting which focused on leveraging the Region’s cultural, sporting and intellectual assets for the economic development of the Community, and to create opportunities for the youth in particular.
