 The community of Souffre in her stunning feet swept almost one-third of the awards at the inaugural Saint Lucia Tourism Awards, the Jimmy's. Out of over 50 awards presented that night, more than 10 returned to Souffre. Speaking on the heels of the Jimmy's, the member of parliament for Souffre force Jacques Emma Hippolit congratulated everyone who was nominated for an award and all the victors walked away with awards. By her account, the number of entries that Souffre had in the Jimmy's spoke volumes about what the community has to offer. What this confirms is that Souffre is unique in several respects and sometimes I believe we do not take a moment to recognize that. I'm very pleased that the Ministry of Tourism have decided to name this award the Jimmy's because as you know, Souffre we own the Lord has blessed us with the two Twin Peaks, which is the Piton. We have our driving volcano. We have a very deep harbor, scenic, and we have the tallest peak, which is Mon Jimmy. The Lord has blessed us tremendously. So it is no surprise to me that the majority of awards own my Souffre. We had to just bring the Jimmy's back home. They took it without permission, but the Jimmy's had to come back to where it belongs. Souffre in every category listed had a nominee or an awardee. The Souffre Regional Development Foundation walked away with two awards, one in the organizational category, the community-based tourism award, and the individual category, site or adventure employee of the year, which went to the SRDF's self-aspring stock coordinator, Pontian Simon. Last year, the SRDF captured first runner-up in the Caribbean Tourism Organization, CTO Awards, our community-based tourism. So I was not surprised at all when the SRDF won the award. I also want to take this moment to thank the persons who actually worked with us over the years, the persons who actually, the founding fathers of the Souffre Foundation, Mr Michael Gustave, Mr Bourne, Mr Trubiscourt, and the others who put it together. That is what it means for community development. The Fondue Eco Resort also brought home two awards. The MP says the work being done by the Lamontines and many other resorts around the Souffre is testament that the tourism product in Souffre will only continue to grow. I'd like to congratulate Mrs Lamontine because they won two awards for the good work that you're doing at Fondue. When you look at where we want to go, we see, for example, the Fondue product embracing sustainability in the environment. We see Anne Chastney and Jade Mountain as well embracing sustainability in the environment. When you look at what Hotel Chocolat is doing, again linking agriculture with the product that we have, definitely Souffre is moving in the right direction in terms of focusing on the environment. The administrative assistant at the Fondue Eco Resort, Indra Mitchell, says it was an honour to be recognised at the Jimmy's. She says the resort rests its pride on the consistency of the products and services they provide. I want to extend our sincere thanks to the Jimmy's awards for recognising our efforts. We know a lot of times that we put in the hard work and sometimes we feel that our efforts are not recognised and that it goes unnoticed. And receiving these awards have certainly motivated us and as well, we hope that it would inspire the small hoteliers in Souffre and St Lucia to continue thriving and remaining committed. All of these awards represent all that is Fondue. We put in the work, we're dedicated, we have a dedicated team who put in all the effort to ensure that we get recognised at these awards. Souffre receives awards in both the organisational and individual categories, including restaurants of the year, small hotel of the year, community-based tourism, site and adventure employee of the year, among many others.
