Culture
The Culture pillar was established to implement initiatives that promote the best of the unique cultural elements within each territory we serve. Through this, we strive to ensure that the beauty of our rich, diverse cultural tapestry is celebrated as it is these expressions that make us unique and pay tribute to our identity as a people. Our work in this area is reflected in investments made toward the First Citizens Dragon Boys Tassa Group, First Citizens Supernovas Steel Orchestra and The Lydian Singers. We also support Carols by Candlelight (Barbados), Divali Nagar and the Ms Tobago Heritage Personality.
