Turks and Caicos Islands (March 25, 2026) — Fresh off an impressive high school track and field season, the Turks and Caicos Islands celebrated another outstanding showcase of young talent at the 2026 Inter-Primary Track and Field Championships, held March 18 to 20 at the Turks and Caicos Islands National Stadium.

The three-day event brought together enthusiastic students, coaches, parents, and supporters from across the islands, all eager to cheer on the next generation of athletes as they demonstrated their skills on the national stage.

As the Official Media Sponsor, leading telecoms provider Flow proudly built on the momentum of February’s Inter-High Championships, ensuring the accomplishments of the nation’s youngest athletes were streamed live via social media and broadcast on Flow TV’s Channel 111. This comprehensive coverage allowed family members, alumni, and sports fans near and far to follow the action in real time, giving the athletes added visibility and recognition for their hard work.

Despite challenging weather conditions, the junior athletes delivered three days of grit, sportsmanship, and record-breaking performances – strong indicators of a bright future for the country’s athletic development.

Flow further supported the event by keeping the stadium connected through the provision of broadband services and by participating in trivia intermissions, where several lucky attendees won Flow gift cards.

Carlencia Lightbourne, Senior Marketing Specialist, Flow Turks and Caicos, presented silverware and awards, along with Flow-branded merchandise bags to the winners of Flow’s headlined 200-meter races.

“Our partnership with the Turks and Caicos Islands Sports Commission is built on a shared vision for the advancement of our youth, and witnessing the determination and resilience these primary school athletes displayed has been truly inspiring,” said Joanne Missick, Country Manager, Flow Turks and Caicos.

“We are proud to provide the infrastructure and platforms that showcase their hard work and encourage the next generation to chase excellence.”

Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands 25 March 2026 — The Informal Settlements Unit (ISU) successfully hosted its Community Outreach Caravan on Saturday, March 21, 2026, at Messenger Baptist Church in Five Cays, delivering a range of essential services to residents of the Granny Hill North informal settlement and surrounding communities.

This latest engagement marks the fifth Community Caravan executed by the ISU, and the fourth held in Providenciales, with one Caravan being conducted in Grand Turk. The initiative forms part of the Unit’s ongoing commitment to strengthening community relationships while improving access to vital support services within informal settlements.

Residents who attended the event benefited from a range of services provided through a collaborative effort with key partners, including the Health Promotions and Advocacy Unit, the Primary Healthcare Department and the Dental Unit, all of the Ministry of Health and Human Services, the Turks and Caicos Islands Red Cross, Menzies Optometry, the Rotary Club of Providenciales, and the TCI Diabetic Association. Services delivered included health screenings and checks, oral health education and products, and the distribution of essential home supplies such as bedding and fabric blinds. In addition, residents received vital eye health and diet and exercise education to help improve health outcomes.

The ISU extends sincere appreciation to the clergy and congregants of Messenger Baptist Church for their exceptional hospitality and unwavering support in facilitating the event. Their contributions, both prior to and during the exercise, played a critical role in ensuring its success.

Gratitude is also extended to the residents of Granny Hill North and all participating partners whose collaboration and engagement contributed to a meaningful and impactful outreach effort.

The Community Caravan initiative is closely aligned with the ISU’s broader Social Needs Assessment Survey, which continues to serve as a key mechanism for understanding the realities faced by residents in informal communities. The survey is designed to capture detailed information on living conditions, access to essential services, public health concerns, and infrastructure needs, ensuring that future interventions are data-driven and responsive to community priorities. 

Trained social surveyors have been deployed within the Granny Hill North community to conduct household-level assessments as part of this ongoing initiative. Residents are encouraged to participate, as their input will directly inform future planning, policy development, and targeted support programmes aimed at building safer and more sustainable communities.

The ISU remains committed to working alongside communities and partners to deliver impactful initiatives that improve quality of life and support long-term development across the Turks and Caicos Islands.

PROVIDENCIALES, TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS – (March 25th, 2026): Experience Turks and Caicos has published a new destination guide to the Turks and Caicos Islands, designed to enhance the visitor experience while providing potential travellers with comprehensive and inspiring information on the destination.

The magazine was produced in collaboration with Greydoor Publishing, a UK-based company that partners with tourism boards across the Caribbean to create high-quality destination magazines and pocket guides.

Spanning 104 pages, the publication offers an in-depth look at the Turks and Caicos Islands, from its rich history and culture to the diverse range of activities and experiences available across the islands.

With the tagline “An Ocean of Experiences”, the guidebook, in keeping with Experience Turks and Caicos’ mission to promote the destination’s multi-island identity and ensure that all communities benefit from tourism, shines a spotlight on each island, highlighting unique experiences, locally owned restaurants, and homegrown entrepreneurs. It also serves as a practical planning tool, featuring curated three-day, seven-day, and ten-day itineraries to help visitors make the most of their stay.

The guide places a strong emphasis on culture, with a dedicated section outlining signature events held throughout the year, giving visitors a deeper connection to the rhythm and spirit of the islands.

Minister of Tourism, Hon. Zhavargo Jolly, noted that the guidebook comes at a time when the destination is strengthening its presence in key international markets.

It gives visitors a much fuller picture of who we are as a destination—not just our beaches, but our culture, our people, and the experiences across all of our islands. It helps us tell our story properly and ensures that more of Turks and Caicos is seen, experienced, and shared with the world,” the Minister said.
