This Government recognizes the integral role that sports plays in the life and social framework of Bermuda.
?We determined it was most important to emphasize by title, the positive role that sports plays in our community. The unifying power of sport cannot be understated. In Bermuda and throughout the world, sports provide a sense of purpose, national pride and builds community involvement; not to mention the overall health benefits of sports.?
The Minister added, ?In addition, when we are negotiating with sports governing bodies to bring international sporting events to Bermuda, we want our partners overseas to know that our Government is serious about the development of sports.
