We can look at it in a literal sense by examining the fact that we have these herbal remedies and we will come to that in a while. These herbal remedies that we need to explore further, find out how best we can use them in our sustenance and so on.

Executive Director of the Cultural Development Foundation highlighted the entity's involvement in Mois A. Wittage-Quiole. This year, for the CDF, it's no different from last year. Amidst all of the pandemic and everything, we are committed to bringing our culture to St. Lucian's. We are once again bringing you the Cultural Icon Series, as well as the Margaret Festival that traditionally falls in October, October 17th. Our Icon Series is a series, a platform that celebrates the life and work of St. Lucian's who have contributed at least a 25-year body of work, who have presented a 25-year body of work. It's a platform that seeks to highlight the excellence in the arts as part of our cultural and historical footprint in the arts and the contributions made by our people. The Cultural Icon Series this year will revisit and celebrate the work of past icons.
