Two well-known community members Cynthia Waithe and Kris Bennett have taken the helm at one city’s longest serving island associations, Barbados House Montreal at its recently held AGM.
Waithe is now serving as the organization’s president and Bennett as its vice-presidents representing a significant shift of generational leadership.
