🎥 Honourable Minister Nickolas DaCosta reflects on the first 100 days.
“These initiatives not only strengthen the justice system but also provide pathways to redemption, dignity, and reintegration for those seeking a second chance.”
From appointing new members to the Development Control Board to support Sister Islands development and planning oversight to enhancing professionalism and capacity building within His Majesty’s Cayman Islands Prison Service through the signing of ...a memorandum of understanding with the Department of Correctional Services Canada, to support a
professional exchange programme and separately, the onboarding of a full time Clinical Forensic Psychologist, the past 100 days have been about delivering results that matter to Caymanians.

As June 1st marked the beginning of the 2025 hurricane season, CBC urges all residents to take early steps toward preparedness.
While the season runs from 1 June to 30 November, storms can develop with little warning. CBC plays a key role in national response efforts — from the safe clearance of essential goods and relief supplies, to supporting border security and movement during emergencies.
• Ensure your passports and travel documents are current in case evacuation or emer...gency travel becomes necessary.
• If you're expecting parcels, imports, or urgent cargo, monitor shipping timelines and plan ahead. Disruptions can occur during active weather.
• Importing generators, emergency supplies, or medications? Start now to avoid last-minute delays.
We also encourage the public to follow official sources for real-time updates and guidance:

3. Cayman Islands National Weather Service
