One of the participants in the Community Tourism Enhancement Competition (CTEC), Shirley Alexander, is planning to use the competition to transform the communities of Giraudel and Eggleston.
The competition was recently launched at the Dominica Public Service Union (DPSU) Building.
She said her group will focus on the transformation of the Giraudel/Eggleston Flower Show site.
“We have started and we will continue and we intend to use the competition to transform our communities even more, our people, our landscape, everything that we have to offer,” Alexander said.
She said the competition will also be used to bring back some past activities with some additions.
“We will focus a lot on our flower show site, 2.6 acres, so you should look forward to exciting activities there in March and April when the competition will be on,” she said.
Alexander believes that the competition is creating more opportunities for community groups.
“We aim to have a more enhanced environment and more sustainable lifestyles. Of course, we are noted for our abundance of flowers and our people so we will be focusing on those. Our talents, our skills, whatever we have to offer,” she said.
She also mentioned that the community had an improved National Employment Programme (NEP) which started in September 2019.
“We have been pressing forward with the NEP, the Ministry of Tourism and others,” Alexander stated.
Well done Shirley
So proud of you
So excited to see my 2 little villages on the map
Hope our new pal rep will look at our roads
Last time I came it was in a very bad condition
Before you talk Tourism the Eggleston road is a DEATH TRAP. Someone took me there the other night and I thought I was going to die. Please remove the DERELICTS all over the village. I counted over 20 between Fortune, Eggleston and Giraudel.
Also please don’t spoil the beautiful villages with these TYRES used for pots. It’s a DISTATEFUL TREND.
Excellent job Shirley… keep up the Good work.. keep pressing forward for Eggleston and Giraudel..
Giraudel and Eggleston are only about 5 miles from Roseau, those two villages should have been a tourist site from a long time ago if our people would maintain a creative mind–Life is much, much more than money; and it sometimes comes when we are not thinking about it.
What happened to the flower show that was so grand a few years ago? Why did it not improve, and growing stronger every year? It is good to talk, but the best part is to walk the talk.
