Pan Trinbago has expressed deep disappointment at the government’s decision to defer the official implementation of the Steelpan on the national Coat of Arms until 2031.
The organisation said the move undermines the historic amendment passed in February 2025, which had received unanimous support in Parliament and formally recognised the Steelpan as part of the country’s national emblem.
Pan Trinbago president, Beverley Ramsey-Moore, said the delay contradicts the unity demonstrated earlier this year when both sides of the House agreed that the Steelpan deserves its place on the Coat of Arms.
