Column: Ball-Burgess On Leadership & More
[Opinion column written by PLP Candidate Joanne Ball-Burgess] This week, the Progressive Labour Party gathers under the theme: Leadership for the Next Generation. Some will hear that and think it’s just a slogan. But I don’t. I believe that it is a mission and a call to action. Because if we are honest, many young Bermudians have grown tired of...

Column: Chris Famous On Pride, Youth & More
[Opinion column written by MP Chris Famous] Bermuda, with a population of just 60,000 and a landmass of 21 square miles, stands as one of the smallest countries in the Atlantic and Caribbean region. Jamaica, by comparison, boasts over 4,400 square miles and 3 million people. Yet, despite these differences, we dared to compete, and we made it to the... Read more of this article
Column: OBA’s Fahy On Cost Of Living & More
[Opinion column written by OBA MP Michael Fahy] The Affordable Bermuda Agenda published with much self-glorification, falls woefully short on solving the issues Bermudians face with the cost of living. Whilst I commented at the time of release it is worthwhile taking a closer look at the report. If you can stomach the 40-plus pages littered with... Read more of this article
Column: MP King On Leadership, Values & More
[Opinion column written by Opposition Leader Robert King] When I was elected Leader of the One Bermuda Alliance, I took a pause – to take stock of, and reflect on, what matters most. There are so many issues – those we face now, those we anticipate, and those that will surprise us. But the latter will not catch us off guard when we act on... Read more of this article
Column: Dr Kozin On Ageing, Hearing & More
[Column written by Dr Elliott Kozin] As we all know, Bermuda is a remarkable place – but one of the more interesting ways the island is setting itself apart is as one of the fastest-ageing populations in the world. With a median age of 46 [according to the UN], which compares unfavourably with the United States’ median age of 38.5. In a similar... Read more of this article
Column: Donna Tiffin On Meals On Wheels
[Opinion column written by Donna Tiffin] For 50 years Meals on Wheels Bermuda has carried out a simple yet essential mission: to prepare and deliver freshly cooked, nourishing meals to those who cannot do so for themselves. What began in 1975 with a handful of volunteers serving 15 clients from the King Edward Memorial Hospital kitchen has grown into... Read more of this article
Column: OBA’s Foley On Safety, E-Bikes & More
[Opinion column written by the OBA's Maurice Foley] It’s a familiar sight on our roads: a small group of teenagers on electric bikes, swerving through traffic, overtaking cars, and laughing as they disappear around a bend. To some, it may look harmless — just kids having fun. But one wrong turn, one moment of overconfidence, and that laughter could... Read more of this article
Column: Dr Sam On Bermuda College & More
[Column written by Dr David Sam] Just over 50 years ago, Bermuda College opened its doors with a vision to transform lives through education. Today, that vision remains not only intact but thriving, evolving to meet the needs of a new generation of learners and a rapidly changing Bermuda. This year, our Fall 2025 enrolment numbers offer a powerful affirmation... Read more of this article
Column: Rawlins On World Mental Health Day
[Opinion column written by Chardonaé Rawlins] October 10 is World Mental Health Day. Around the globe, we’ll see campaigns encouraging people to talk more openly about mental health and to break the stigma. These messages matter. But for our children here in Bermuda, awareness on its own will never be enough. They need us to move beyond slogans and... Read more of this article
Column: Ben Smith On Sports, Unity & More
[Opinion column written by the OBA's Ben Smith] Sport has always been one of Bermuda’s greatest strengths. It brings us together, families cheering from the sidelines, communities united in shared pride, and young people discovering what it means to work hard, show discipline, and chase big dreams. That’s the beauty of sport. It reflects who we... Read more of this article
Column: Harris On Dyslexia, Education & More
[Opinion column written by Tina Harris] What do Daniel Radcliffe, Octavia Spencer, Lewis Hamilton, Walt Disney, and Richard Branson have in common? They’re all icons in their fields – and they all have dyslexia. Dyslexia affects up to 20% of the global population. That’s one in five people. In Bermuda, that could mean more than 1,600 students...
