CTL Home Center will host a public meet-and-greet with British Virgin Islands track star Kyron A. McMaster OBE OLY at its Fish Bay store, the company announced on its Facebook page. McMaster is scheduled to be at CTL from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM; CTL said the event is presented through its CTL Cares Initiative and is supported by the BVI Olympic Committee and the BVI Athletics Association.

McMaster is one of the Territory’s most accomplished athletes: a World Athletics Championships silver medallist, two-time Commonwealth Games champion, two-time NACAC champion, two-time Diamond League champion and two-time Olympic finalist. CTL described him as “our very own world-class athlete, Olympic finalist, and role model,” and invited residents to “stop by, say hello, and help us show Kyron our love and appreciation.” For many residents, the meet-and-greet will be an opportunity to celebrate McMaster’s achievements and to thank him for representing the BVI on the global stage.

Young athletes and students stand to gain inspiration and encouragement from meeting someone who has reached the highest levels of the sport while remaining connected to the local community. Organisers have not published further logistical details about activities during the two-hour window, such as autograph times or photo opportunities.

CTL’s Facebook announcement also did not specify a calendar date; residents are advised to check CTL’s social channels, the BVI Olympic Committee, or the BVI Athletics Association for any updates or confirmations before planning to attend. The meet-and-greet reflects ongoing efforts by private-sector sponsors and sports bodies to support athletics development in the Territory.

Events like this raise the profile of track and field locally, encourage youth participation, and strengthen ties between athletes, sponsors and the wider public. Residents planning to attend should observe any local health guidelines and arrive early to avoid crowds. Those unable to attend in person can follow CTL’s and the BVI Olympic Committee’s social media pages for possible photos or coverage of the event.

This meet-and-greet gives BVI residents a rare chance to meet a national sporting figure in a relaxed, community setting while recognising the support of local organisations for athletics and youth development.
