Governor General Her Excellency Dame Marguerite Pindling visited Bimini on Friday, March 27, after a short visit to the Berry Islands. In Bimini, Governor General Dame Marguerite and Minister of Tourism and Member of Parliament for West Grand Bahama and Bimini the Hon. Obie Wilchcombe met students and faculty of Louise McDonald High School and Gateway Christian Academy.

Dame Marguerite participated in the Planting of a Yellow Elder tree, a Tour of Louise McDonald High School Nature Trail, an All-Island Combined School Special Assembly, and a Luncheon at Resorts World Bimini attended by business, civic, local government, heads of department, and community leaders.
