Little Sisters
The Little Sisters is an informal name for a group of some of the smaller islands of the British Virgin Islands, south of Tortola and southwest of Virgin Gorda. These islands are also called the Southern Islands.
- Norman Island
- Pelican Island
- Peter Island
- Salt Island
- Cooper Island
- Ginger Island
- Carvel Rock
- Dead Chest Island
Also included in the group are several smaller rocky outcroppings.
The closest thing to a formal endorsement of the term occurs in the Labour Code, 2010[1] (a British Virgin Islands statute) which includes a reference and statutory definition for the "Sister Islands", which the Code defines as meaning 'the islands of the Virgin Islands other than Tortola'.[2]

- The definition appears in section 3. The only time the term is used in section 70, which exempts employees on other islands from needing a doctor's certificate to validate a sick day.

gollark: No mods, though, so it's boring.
gollark: Python is apparently fine with this.
