On September 1, 2026, the Department of Parks, a division of the Ministry of Public Works and Environment, welcomed a new director. Remi Subair, a long‑time public servant with experience in environmental planning, will steer the department’s efforts to preserve Bermuda’s natural heritage.

In a statement released by the Government’s communications office, Head of the Public Service Cherie Whitter expressed confidence in Subair’s ability to enhance the island’s green spaces. "We are delighted to appoint Mr. Subair," Whitter said. "His track record in community outreach and sustainable development aligns with our vision for healthy, accessible parks across Bermuda."

Subair’s portfolio will include oversight of the maintenance of historic sites such as the Bermuda National Academy of Arts gardens and the revitalisation of the Hamilton Waterfront. He will also coordinate the upcoming expansion of the Bermuda Wildlife Conservation Corps, which trains residents to manage coastal habitats.

The new appointment comes as Bermuda seeks to balance tourism demand with environmental stewardship. Subair has pledged to strengthen partnerships with local schools, NGOs, and the tourism sector to promote eco‑friendly recreation and educational programming. His hands‑on leadership is expected to boost both visitor experience and ecological resilience across the island’s parks and green corridors.
