Caymanians 2025

Caymanians 2025 is a new information sharing initiative led by Premier Hon. Alden McLaughlin.

Premier Hon. Alden McLaughlin stated "I believe it is essential for all of us to take part in the debate about Cayman’s future. And in encouraging you to take part, I recognise that as Premier I have a special responsibility to make sure that you are well-informed about the choices we face and that you are able to get answers to your questions. Therefore today we’ve launched an important, new initiative to get information directly into your hands, and to give you the opportunity to get your questions answered - Caymanians 2025 mobile app.”

Caymanians 2025 mobile app is available in both the Apple and Android app stores and it is free to download onto any smart device.

Mr. McLaughlin continued “The Government is doing much to ensure that you have the information that you need to play a full part in the national debate. Not least in the current referendum, Cayman has important decisions to make and that is why in addition to the Government’s efforts my colleagues and I have personally put together a resource (independent of Government) to help get the information you need into your hands. We’re working hard to make sure it contains everything you need to know about the decisions that affect you.”

Caymanians 2025 is about where we want to go next as a people of the Cayman Islands. The app is a portal for news, views and facts for all Caymanians. 

There’s information about ongoing programmes that relate to jobs, the economy, health, education, infrastructure, environment, housing, security, tourism, transportation and the Sister Islands.

“I’m inviting everyone in Cayman who feels their questions have not been answered. Ask me now” said Mr. McLaughlin “Ask me by posting on Facebook at Caymanians 2025; send me your questions on Twitter at caymanians2025, or simply email me at [email protected] I will answer your questions through the app, through social media and through a video podcast you will find on the YouTube channel, Caymanians 2025.”

Inevitably, at this time, most of the questions being asked focus on the debate about whether Cayman should move forward with building the cruise berthing and enhanced cargo facilities. As time goes on, discussions will move on to other important issues that will guide our future. 

Mr. McLaughlin continued “In the meantime, I hope you will agree with me that the referendum is not a matter to take lightly. It’s our opportunity to take control over what happens to us today and tomorrow. I don’t want any of us to feel we were not prepared to make this decision. Please use the mobile app, use the email, reach out through social media and get the information you need”.

Mr. McLaughlin concluded “I believe in Caymanians. I came into politics because I wanted to help shape the future of our Islands. I still do. The launch of the Caymanians 2025 app gives you the opportunity to take part in the debate about what the future might be for the benefit of the next generation of Caymanians. Please join me as we chart Cayman’s future course.”
