Season Greetings to the President and members of the Council of Caribbean Organizations of Manitoba, and to the general Caribbean population here in Manitiba (Canada).

I wish you all a season of joy and merriment.

However, while you knock your glasses in good cheers of the season, please remember our friends and relatives in the Islands that have suffered loss of possessions and those who might have lost loved ones during the passage of hurricane through the region this year. especially Ivan.

Remember them in your prayers.

I hope 2004 was a productive year for the Council and I wish you all the best in the 2005.
