For Immediate Public Release
Prime Minister of St. Kitts and Nevis Hon. Dr. Denzil Douglas has called for nationals to exercise more and lead positive healthy lifestyles.
The Prime Minster made the call during a brief ceremony on Monday where Resident Ambassador of the Republic of China (Taiwan) presented a cheque for the construction of the Bird Rock athletic facility. Prime Minister Douglas said the inclusion of an exercise track was strategically planned.
“We need to have our people exercise more on a regular basis,” said the Prime Minister. “Apart from eating well, they must exercise, and so for the first time in this country we are going to provide a proper exercise track,” he explained, noting that persons who walk in popular areas such as Frigate Bay face challenges with vehicular traffic.
The new facility will eliminate that and other associated dangers.
