The company Is committed to fostering a culture of safety within our company, schools and community.”
Director of Communications and Sustainability Krista Barnes said: “This is our 33rd year of the BELCO kite safety campaign and poster competition and it was wonderful to receive more than 100 fantastic posters from students across the island.
“Kite safety is very important during the annual Good Friday holiday and by participating in the competition students learn the important lessons on kite safety while having fun creating a piece of artwork.
