Make new holiday permanent

It will be a one-off holiday. Like when TT qualified for the FIFA World Cup for the first time but hopefully not last time.

Does the general public agree with this move? Shouldn’t the holiday be permanent? Other major groups have recurring public holidays.

Contrary to public belief, people benefit from public holidays.

Some work for premium rates.

Some get time to rest and do things with their families. The country does not shut down.

This is not about the number of public holidays we have. It is about celebrating our diversity.

We are a cosmopolitan nation.

Where every creed and race finds an equal place.

Make the holiday permanent.
