DLP holds Annual Awards Ceremony
Press Release - Friday, October 7th, 2011 at 11:35 AM
Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit, Political Leader of the Dominica Labour Party
Roseau, Dominica, October 8, 2011 — The Dominica Labour Party (DLP) holds its Annual Awards Ceremony 2011 under the theme, “Dominica Labour Party: 56 Years of People’s Development” on October 8, 2011 from 4:00pm to 7:00 pm.
The event takes place at the Officers’ Quarters at historic Fort Shirley in the Cabrits National Park which overlooks Prince Rupert’s Bay and Dominica’s second town, Portsmouth, but is located within the Cottage Constituency.
The Dominica Labour Party has held the Cottage constituency since 1995. The people of that area have been represented in Parliament by Hon. Reginald Austrie, Minister for Lands, Housing, Settlement and Water Resource management.
The DLP Annual Awards Ceremony honours 32 of its members for their service to the Party. 21 members receive constituency awards. Five members receive zonal awards for service to the Labour Women’s Organization (LWO), DLP’s woman’s arm and six for service to the Labour Youth Organization (LYO), DLP’s youth arm. Awardees are presented by DLP’s Representatives and Senators.
DLP Political Leader, Hon. Roosevelt Skerrit, Prime Minister of Dominica will address the ceremony.
This year’s Awards Ceremony highlights the maturity of the Dominica Labour Party — 56 years old, having been launched on the steps of the Dominica Trades Union Hall in Roseau in 1955. It also honours the Party’s 56 years of developing the Dominican people through social and political transformations such as free public education, universal access to secondary education, dramatic increases in access to higher education, access to health care, the Labour Movement, political party formation, and constitutional change, including Associated Statehood and Independence.
The ceremony will also celebrate the party’s growing popularity, since the DLP won 18 of the 21 seats in the House of Assembly in the 2009 general elections.

u all can say what u want but this leadership is not cumming back to u all.
here we go again my people another distraction for the people not to worry about the case, and they alwys talking about 18–3 and they living more afraid than ever did you all heard that Austrie guy
So you know is for sure. Are you his boyfriend.
Some people are so evil minded that they would stop at nothing to discredit someone else.
IF he is, I say SO WHAT. It does not make him a bad person, nor does it stop him from doing his duties.
I dont know the man from Adam, but his private life is none of our business.
YOUR PRESENCE WON’T MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
The dominica labour party has always provided Dominica with leaders who has vision and foresight.Our P M is continuing the tradition of LeBlanc and John by looking way ahead beyon the horison
Leaders with vision and foresight always come from the Labour Party.Our P M is only continuing the tradition of LeBlance and John.So those critics better recognise that .
That is just a technical roll call….he want to see if he still got numbers….nothing more nothing less. Same old strategy every time his pants catching fire.
While you awarding people for supporting you blindly, you must also think of those that have worked much harder than you education wise and can’t eat bread in their own country because you and your friends decide against it.
You must also remember the children that got up this morning with no breakfast, and still have not gotten their text books for Academic year 2011/12.
While you taking your roll call, run up to the hospital and check with central medical store to see how many different medication that are missing, drop on at Imary and Glover ward and see the mess that is there.
Labour party represented the grass roots people of Dominica, the little man, today is pure wannabes in Roseau, that keep fanning your boomboom for perks.
Time will tell Roosevelt Skerrit….the world continues to turn…..
just think what is DLP to shout about…wow
they just another bunch of folks getting personal wealth amongest themselves what a joke..
they do have a right to award those on the scale of who is the richets in the most corrupted regime ever to rule dominica..
pay chou sacrea jalouzie
some dominicans i would just hit them lick of stone for their negative thinkin about everyting
ITS TIME TO AWARD THOSE LABOURITES WHO HAVE SERVED THE PARTY FOR MANY YEARS ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO DID SO WHILE IT WAS IN OPPOSITION FOR OVER 20 YEARS. I DO HOPE THAT WE IN THE ROSO SOUTH GET OUR HOUSING REVOLUTION BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN PROMISED SO MUCH AND WE HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THE SO CALLED $5900000 EC SET ASIDE FOR HOUSING WENT TO. BUT I WILL BE AT THE CEREMONY AND I HOPE OUR PARL REP DO SOMETHING FOR ROSO SOUTH PEOPLE WE GETTING FED UP FED UP PM I HOPE YOUR PEOPLE READING DAT FOR YOU…WE NEED A NEW DLP REP FOR THE NEXT ELECTION AND WE KNOW HIM ALREADY! WE WILL ALL BE THERE AT DAT BIG CEREMONY FOR WE LOVE LABOUR AND LABOUR IS LOVE!

I MEANT EC $590000 DOLLARS
DLPis the best Governmnt Dominica ever had and I must commend them, no other Party has done soo much for Dominica since independent.
well reelect them! lol
This is the worst Leadership Dominica has ever seen.No Vision
Look around Dominica put on glasses be honest
and u will see!U may not like all the policies of the Administration, that is ur right, u may not like him personally then again that’s ur right. but to say there is no vision, clearly ur eyes sight is bad
Maybe we can identify someone who has vision
and ‘RALLY”him/her to run the country
I am just saying
I THINK PORTSMOUTH SHOULD BE GIVEN SOME KIND OF AWARD FOR HOLDING TO LABOR FROM SINCE THE PARTY’S INSEPTION WITHOUT ANY WAVERING.ALL OTHER CONSTITUENT HAVE CHANGED FROM LABOR TO FREEDOM TO UWP AND BACK TO LABOR..POSSI IS THE BACKBONE OF LABOR AND WILL CONTINUE TO STAND STRONG.LONG LIVE THE DLP,THE PRIME MINISTER AND THE WISE THINKING PEOPLE OF DOMINICA.KEEP THE FIRE BURNING, AND MAKE THE NAYSAYERS KEEP TALKING TRASH.
But this new labour party has moved away form the vision that Rosie and Mike had implemented. So is no way He will recognize Possie .

I AGREE WITH YOU. 101% TRUE

WOULDNT IT BE A BEAUTIFUL AND HONEST OPPURTUNITY TO TELL THE PEOPLE OF DOMINICA AND THE LABOURITE THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH SO HELP YOU GOD.MR. SKERRIT DO YOU HAVE OR TRAVELLED ON A FRENCH PASSPORT AS AN ADULT?
BONDIEU MISTER JUST AWAKE FROM HIS POLITICAL G P DAT NOT CARING AFTER 11 YEARS
I WILL HAVE TO CHECK DR BENJI
It is better for any Dminican to have a French Passport than to have a US Passport. We are closer to the French culturally, the majority of ildren in Dominica today hold french passports.Being Dominican is still french. My PM dont have to prove or tell you anything.
All you can go drink all you Cool-Aid and get mezzmerized.
Awards to indeviduals and nothing for the country!! LOL.WE need better roads , schools, medical facilities, price control on food, sports facilities and so many more I can go on all day. But you all want to give a selected few a gift?? Aren’t these minister living in Dominica?? They all travel so frequently and stil they return blind to the plight of Da.
come-on do better than that.I won’t go.
Better roads? But look they building the west coast highway and all you complaining.
hahahahahahahaah
ARE YOU BLIND OR WHAT. I WAS IN DA TWO MONTHS AGO AND I SAW ALOTS OF IMPROVEMENT.
I AM NOT FOR NO PARTY BUT BE REAL. IF YOU
HATE A DOG BUT MAINTAIN THAT ITS TEETH IS
Correct me if I’m wrong, but surely these awards are bestowed on citizens who have contributed something to not just party (DLP), but also their community.
Take a drive and see the countless road projects going on.
Yes we need better medical facilities, better equip schools.
Regarding the control of food prices, do you expect the government to dictate to businesses what they should be charging (if they were to do that people like you would shout dictatorship).
Yes we need sports facilities, and I hope that we maintain them better than the savannahs (cut the grass, no hanging washing on the fences, no using them as pastures for cows and goats etc). Ooops, I forgot, we’re waiting for Skerrit to come with his grass cutter and cut the grass ( I make no apologies for my sarcasm, but all this negativity is so unnecessary and draining).
SIKO
but if the DLP was doing so Great why would Dominica be listed as the Poorest in the Caribbean and having the most out of touch Prime Minister in the caribbean with regards to his other Leaders…
my maths arent adding up right….hmm
something is fishy…i think its a clouded vibes to keep some always thinking there is no light in this world…
Because too many ignorant empty vessels like you bringing the place down!
NO POOREST IN THE WORLD

UWP IS STILL PWEEE WE LIKE PWEE PWEE
BIG JOKE

ALL THOSE SEXY GIRLS WITH LABOUR
I WAS IN DA TWO MONTHS AGO AND WE HAD THAT
SAME DISCUSSION WHY IS DA IS LISTED AS THE
POOREST ISLAND. THERE WAS A PEACE CORP
AROUND SHE STATED THAT BECAUSE WHEN THY DO
THEIR SURVEY THERE ARE LOTS OF HOMES WHERE
SIX OR MORE PEOPLE LIVING IN TWO BEDROOMS
HOMES.
So now the topic is been focus on that persons
opinion. That’s Dominican for you always so negative. OK, he/she does not want to attend so big deal. Why keep going at it!!!

Only a well-organised and well-led political party could celebrate such a milestone. Continue the good works and remain united and strong. Long Live The Dominica Labour Party. The masses are with you, i.e., the poor, working class and struggling people. Let the naysayers continue to hate.
