Security measures in place for National Youth Rally
Organizers are ensuring that tight security measures are in place for tomorrow’s National Youth Rally.
This is according to Co-chair of the committee Betty-Ann Bloodman.
Bloodman also called on parents to be vigilant as well.
“So, we just want to highlight, too, that it’s a no-violence campaign, so we are encouraging our parents, please do your checks before the children leave home and just assist us in whatever way possible that we can have a safe National Youth Rally 2025 but the police force will be out in their numbers,” Bloodmansaid.
Hundreds of students from the primary and secondary schools across Antigua and Barbuda will flock to the Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Stadium on Thursday morning for this year’s National Youth Rally.
As is the custom, the schools will be on display during the march pass where they will salute several of their peers who excelled both academically and through other means like sports and the arts.
