 10. Prime Minister and Minister for Justice and National Security, Honourable Philip J. Pierre, delivered remarks at the Caribbean Community or CARICOM Regional Symposium on Crime and Violence. We have a responsibility to our people, to provide them with the necessary resources so that they can become wealth-tweeters and custodians of our patrimony. I welcome this symposium and ask that we move swiftly to implement the recommendations which we put forward. We can't afford otherwise. I thank you. 9. We've always taken school security very, very seriously. We have realised in the Ministry of Education that we do not have sufficient personnel, not just in terms of numbers but expertise, to lead the charge on our own as far as school security is concerned and it is against that backdrop we were able to bring in Mr. Osbott Regis, retired police commissioner, to help with the security apparatus of the school system. 8. What's new? What's exciting this year for Carnival? I think for us it will be the first full carnival since COVID. The junior carnival, junior panorama, junior calypso, commercial calypso, we didn't have those things last year yet we had a fantastic mass last year. So this year we are moving towards having the full suite of events that we normally have for carnival. So I think this year we look forward to restoring carnival as we knew it in the past. 7. The Sambusha Boxing Association, host two nights of an extravaganza, intended to be part of a development programme for young boxers. We created champions and better citizens by working in the school government with the ministry. The tagline for the tournament is hands in gloves not on guns, we want to make sure you and stay in that gloves and don't hold the guns. When they go out there and they win, we say Sambusha wins. We feel proud. We need to always ask ourselves what can we do, what small can we do? 6. Staff of the department of fisheries as well as other government officials gathered for the momentous opening ceremony of the data training programme for Calypso, a cutting-edge prototype fisheries database. The first week of our training will involve fisheries statistics and during the second week we will see hands-on practical aspect of the training where we will be using our tablets to capture real-time data on fisher, vessel, fish landing and aquaculture data. 5. Today more than ever, Sambusha is becoming a space that promotes creativity and innovation. The establishment of the youth economic agency for example is tangible evidence that the government recognises the contribution that creativity and innovation can make to the overall economic development of our country. 4. Development of a hydromet portal is an initiative of the Disaster Vulnerability Reduction Project. The online platform allows users to collect, archive, visualise and share hydrometeorological data, data that can forecast the amount of rain and its effect on specific areas. The new system would add support to the Water Resource Management Agency or WRMA and the Sambusha Met Service. 3. The issue of feral pigs and their impact on the forest ecosystem as well as on farmers and land owners was the focus of a stakeholders consultation meeting held by the Department of Forestry. And we're all looking to manage what is there to a point where it is not having that negative effect on our resources, on our natural resources, on the forest, on the water resources. 2. USAID's Youth Resilience Inclusion and Empowerment Project has been completed with the organisation of Youth Easter Connect, a series of camps held in Granivegozile, the John Ardham Secondary School and in Viefo. And basically what we've been doing is teaching them various life skills such as leadership, conflict management, conflict resolution, peer mediation and so forth. But instead of just having them learning, we're making it creative so we're incorporating creative methods so that they can learn the various styles and the various life skills. 1. And that one hits the pad, there's a huge appeal and that's it, game over, Saint Lucia Champions and Saint Vincent Bollard for 74 and with that Saint Lucia are now champions of the Winlord-Winwards Under-19 Championship for the second time in two years.
