Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama.

A Multi-Faith Service of National Remembrance and Thanksgiving will be held at Albert Park this coming Monday to remember those we lost during Tropical Cyclone Winston last year and to honour their memories.

Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama has confirmed this adding that coming Monday marks the anniversary of that dark day in Fiji’s history – the day our nation was ravaged by the strongest storm to ever reach our shores.

He has again asked every Fijian to take this weekend to reflect on the tragedy that befell us, especially the pain caused by the loss of life.

Bainimarama says there is still work to be done to reclaim everything we lost, to rebuild homes and schools, but it is people who must always come first.

Meanwhile, government has clarified that it is not a national holiday and employees are asked to return to their workplaces after the service on Monday.

The service at Albert Park will commence at 11am Monday.
