Catalyst. The confirmation that Bermuda will host the America’s cup in 2017 is a game changer for our Island. This event and all that surrounds it, new hotel construction, new facilities, refurbishment of properties, and more importantly, opportunities to provide education for those that will be able to get new employment opportunities in a variety of disciplines.

The collaboration between all of the people of Bermuda will make this an outstanding success. The longer term benefits will be significant and together with other foreign investment will once again reposition Bermuda as a major international centre and open the doors for many new opportunities for all.

Let’s all ensure that we make the most of this open door and walk through to a wonderful future. A focus on co-operation, positive thinking, and a new beginning will be critical to our success.

“A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst and it sparks extraordinary results.” — Wade Boggs
