‘Thank you for your impact in the lives of your children’- Premier tells VI fathers
Adding to the celebrations, VI Premier and Minister of Finance, Dr the Hon Natalio D. Wheatley (R7) extended special greetings to all the fathers in the VI.
The Premier in a special post shared, “On this special day, I extend warm wishes to all fathers in the Virgin Islands.”
“Thank you for your dedication, wisdom, and the countless ways you make a positive impact in the lives of your children,” he added.
The Premier also called for Father's Day to be filled with joy, love, and cherished moments with families across the territory.
Traditional Father's Day continues
Like many countries around the world, Father’s Day is celebrated in the VI to recognize the contribution that fathers and father figures make to the lives of children.
This day reflects and celebrates fatherhood and although it is done on a variety of dates worldwide, many countries observe this day on the third Sunday in June.
On Father’s Day, children and families make a special effort to treat the fathers in their lives. Some visit their fathers, while others give cards, flowers or other gifts, such as clothing or sport, or luxury gear, and food items.

Contrary to the mindset of more than 90% of the world's belief father's and mother's day is everyday, not one day of 365 days per year.
It if time for us here in the BVI to wake from Dreamland ethnic devisive separation of family unity. If we do, we will rise together. To the contrary, if we don't, we will remain slaves of selfish and devisive humanistic psychology phylosophy.
So far you've only been pushing party's and festivals which breeds alcohol, drugs, sex, gang violence. The same youths attend these party's and festivals because they're young they want to enjoy themselves but send a better msg man. Bring more positive artists. Byron Messiah came here last year and big up a well known local drug group in the bvi and the crowd went wild. What kind of blasted msg you think then sending to the youths??
They will want to come big and invested in the drug transport life like them! They not gonna consider school, work, or living a stable life. They will chase after fast money, drugs , jewelry, guns, rum , party life .
