Happy Father's Day 💙
Today, we celebrate the fathers and father figures whose love, guidance, sacrifice and presence help shape stronger families and communities across Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
Whether as dads, grandfathers, foster fathers, stepfathers, uncles, mentors or caregivers, your impact reaches far beyond the home and into the heart of our nation.
Happy Father's Day from The Honourable Laverne Gibson-Velox and the staff of the Ministry of the Family, Gender Affairs, Persons with Disabilities, Local Government and Labour. 💙

On Friday 19th June 2026, the Ministry of the Family paused to celebrate and honour Ms. Juovanie Roberts, Senior Assistant Secretary, as she embarks on a well-deserved retirement after 39 years of dedicated service to the Government of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
Ms. Roberts has been a source of knowledge, professionalism and gentle guidance to many throughout her years of service. Her commitment to excellence and her willingness to support and encourage colleagues have left a lasting impact on this Ministry and the countless lives she touched along the way.
