Thanks for mentioning the incredible work of the volunteers. They are featured in one of these ‘Parts’, and in fairness they could feature in all Nine Parts! Th video you mentioned can be seen on YouTube – click here: https://youtu.be/StUanTdgg0Q
With 545 volunteers involved and 322 of them from Bermuda, everyone is likely to know a Bermuda FirstMate!

Sadly a number of Bermudians did not attended the event due to the political misinformation and propaganda spread by the PLP. I met a number of people who refused to go and they spouted back spoon fed PLP propaganda as reasons. They missed out.

Kudos to all involved in producing this documentary for present and future Bermudians to enjoy a portrait of us at our best!

The XL-Catlin funded Volunteer First Mates Programme was the largest, most diverse and inclusive in Bermuda’s history with well over 600 residents participating in supporting Americas Cup.

Their voices, service and Bermudian pride often made the difference for many of our local and overseas guests – informing, guiding and helping them have a unique Bermuda experience.

First Mates were required to gain their Certified Tourism Ambassador (CTA) certificate. This created a cadre of well informed and serviced focused volunteers. A separate video was created just about our First Mates programme and that would be worth sharing in addition to the nine parts series.

We don’t want to miss the extraordinary contribution that our local volunteers make each day and every day in making Bermuda a compassionate caring community.
