This week members of the Gibraltar Youth Service were the first group invited to the City Hall to meet His Worship the Mayor of Gibraltar, Mr John Gonçalves MBE GMD, after the lifting of some COVID-19 restrictions. 

A statement from the Office of the Mayor follows below:

The young people were treated to a tour and given a  factual talk in the Mayor’s Parlour on the history of the building and its’ occupants from when  it was built in 1819 by Aaron Cardozo through to the present day.  

The young people found the talk to be very informative after which they participated in an informal discussion on gender identity. Members were encouraged to be open in the  discussion and subsequently the group felt their concerns and thoughts were respected and  heard by His Worship. 

The group of young people would like to thank His Worship the Mayor for giving up his time  to meet with them and wish him all the best in his final weeks in office.
