News from the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association

We have just received a photo from London of the group of young people from around the Commonwealth who were chosen to represent their countries at the Commonwealth Day Celebrations held in London last March.  It is wonderful to see three of our own young people -Tennille Christian, Leah Christian and Tim Gatehouse - ‘smiling’ at the camera.  This same photo has also been published in the latest quarterly issue of The Parliamentarian; the magazine published and distributed around the Commonwealth by the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association.
