T&T Grenadian diaspora in Point Fortin to reconnect with their roots.

The release said the Grenada Government has officially regarded 2024 as the Year of Return for the Grenadian diaspora in Point Fortin to reconnect with their Grenadian roots to generate and harness greater knowledge of the Point Fortin-Grenada ancestral connection.

Since the early 1900s Grenadians have migrated to Point Fortin in their thousands, it said.
Joseph thanked the Grenada Government for supporting the events, and ongoing celebration activities which began March 27 and end April 1.
Back-ah-yard has also expanded from delivering poetry workshops for youth solely in children’s homes in Grenada from as early as 2006, to partnering with the Ministry of Education, Culture, Youth and Sport of Grenada, to conduct its Poetry in the Classroom Programme in 12 primary schools and six secondary schools in Grenada, the release said.

It said, "This yearly regional cultural exchange is regarded by both nations as an official part of the Point Fortin Borough Day celebrations."
