Following that trip, he departed for Montreal, where he was set to honour 50 years of community activism by Grenadian Gemma Raeburn-Baynes. Mitchell was to deliver the feature address at an event recognizing her on the occasion of International Women’s Day.

Mitchell will attend the CARICOM meeting on Monday in St Vincent before returning to Grenada on Tuesday.

Grenada Deputy Prime Minister Elvin Nimrod has been serving as Acting Prime Minister during Mitchell’s absence.
