The public are invited to meet members of the Council of Ministers at two rescheduled drop-in events in January.

The events give the public the chance to feed into the draft ‘Our Island Plan’ and directly discuss future challenges and opportunities.

Our Island Plan was produced within 30 days of the new administration being formed by Chief Minister Alfred Cannan MHK and seeks to deliver a focused and clear direction of travel toward a secure, vibrant and sustainable future for the Isle of Man. The plan identifies five key areas for focus:

An Island of health and wellbeing
A strong and diverse economy
An environment we can be proud of
Outstanding lifelong learning and development opportunities for all
