THERE’S A CALL for September 3 to be declared a day of national significance in memory of the Campus Trendz fire victims.
The appeal has come from the September 3rd Foundation which has planned a series of events to remember Tiffany Harding, Kellishaw Ollivierre, Kelly-Ann Welch, Shanna Griffith, Nikkita Belgrave and Pearl Cornelius.
Speaking at a Press conference at the Clement Payne Cultural Centre yesterday, one of the foundation’s founding members David Comissiong contended that September 3 should be a day on which the entire nation was encouraged to reflect not only on the tragedy, but on the wider issue of crime, particularly as it related to young people.
On that two-year anniversary, the foundation is asking Barbadians to observe a minute of silence or silent prayer at noon. (DP)
