Minister for Grand Bahama, Hon. Ginger Moxey was the guest speaker at the Passing out Parade for 68 graduates of the Royal Bahamas Defence Force Royal Rangers Cadet program, on Saturday, May 30, 2026, on the grounds of the Worker’s House.

In her address, Minister Moxey reminded the new recruits that the Rangers’ tradition of molding young lives continues with them, along with the responsibility of building upon that foundation. She encouraged the new Cadets to plan for an exciting and bright future, not just for themselves, but for Grand Bahama and for the entire nation.

Minister Moxey pointed out that the Rangers’ program successfully grew from a single school to 66 schools across the Commonwealth of the Bahamas. The program has expanded from a handful of young men to thousands of young Bahamians – young men and women – whom Minister Moxey noted, have learned over the years that leadership is earned, that discipline is freedom and that the Bahamas needs them.

The Freeport Airport Development Company (FAD) conducted a scheduled emergency response drill on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, at the Grand Bahama International Airport.

Exercise is a regulatory requirement and an important component of FAD’s ongoing commitment to maintaining the highest standards of safety, emergency preparedness, and operational readiness at the Grand Bahama International Airport. It was designed to assess the readiness and coordinated response capabilities of the airport and participating emergency response agencies in the event of an emergency.

The simulated emergency was complete with the “belly” of an old aircraft and “actors”, who portrayed wounded individuals involved in a plane crash.
