Wednesday, November 27, 2003 – The Standing National Independence Anniversary Committee (SNIAC), launched the programme of activities to mark the 25th anniversary celebrations of Saint Lucia’s independence on Wednesday, at the Office of the Prime Minister.

The launching featured the presentation of the calendar of main national events spanning a year, the 25th anniversary website, the logo and the jingle.

The logo which depicts a combination of men, women and children against the backdrop of the map of Saint Lucia imprinted on the flag was designed by committee member, Giovanni St. Omer, and Natalie Preville. In presenting the logo, St. Omer said it captured the essence of people coming together to take Saint Lucia into the future, under God’s guidance.

The jingle featuring the theme for independence “Taking Responsibility for Our Country’s Development”, was produced by internationally acclaimed musician Ronald Boo Hinkson.

The website was constructed by webmaster, Richmond Felix of the Department of Information Services. The official Independence website is “www.saintluciasilver.org” and features information on all aspects of Saint Lucian life as well as the schedule of activities to mark the 25th Anniversary of Saint Lucia’s Independence.

Chairman of the multi-sector independence committee Dr Jimmy Fletcher, says activities will be staged at both community and national levels. He says such widespread celebrations will allow for a memorable observance with the requisite pomp, ceremony, dignity and significance, befitting such an occasion.
