Letter to the Editor - An idea whose time has come
15-June-2015
The week starting today, Monday June 15, can very well be described as the week of national celebrations. On Thursday June 18 will take place the flag raising ceremony at the Voice of the Nation monument which will be presided over by the President of the Repuiblic James A. Michel. This will be followed soon after by the launching of this year’s edition of the National Schools Athletics Championship. On Saturday June 20, the National Day Celebrations Committee in collaboration with the Home & Industry Fair Committee will be hosting a fair dedicated to the inner islands in progress (Zil Pros an Mouvman). And in between, we will have events organised under the auspices of the Seychelles Court of Appeal, headed by the Honourable Justice Francis MacGregor, and the National Assembly focusing on the day of the Constitution. The grand National/Independence Day parade will take place on Monday June 29 at the Stad Linite when President Michel will address the nation.

Any other idea to contribute towards further marking the importance of this day in the life of the Nation?
I believe that the idea of a special National Day Award recognising the work of certain individuals for their exta special contributions to the development, progress and image of the State is an idea whose time has come.
