for Commemorative Booklet to mark

the 2018 Appreciation Day for Sanitation Workers

Sunday, September 9^th, 2018

It is my great honour and privilege to once again commend the efforts of Pastor Lincoln Hazell and his devoted congregation at the Apostolic Faith Church for organizing the Annual Sanitation Workers Appreciation Day, which is now in its 16^th year.

Every year without fail since 2002, you keep honouring our hard-working women and men, who handle, collect and dispose of our garbage; clean our streets, parks and beaches, and protect our environment.

On behalf of the Government and people of St. Kitts and Nevis, I heartily congratulate all our sanitation workers for seamlessly performing an essential service to the public by keeping our communities and country clean, safe and habitable.
