“I say that my dear friends, because having a love for your community and being involved in the development of your community is a very serious undertaking. The community of St. Joseph, the residents of St. Joseph should not take for granted the role that each and every one of you as an awardee this evening has played and in some cases continue to play, to ensure that this community St. Joe City remains a very vibrant and productive community,” he said.

Congratulations to all of you. For your concern and hard work you do deserve an award. Keep it up and help build up St. Joseph. It is one of the places in D/ca which is dear to my heart. I have relatives in St. Joseph. I recognized two family names. When I resided in D/ca I would often visit St. Joseph. I always visit there when I am home. Therefore, know that I am proud of your achievement and that you are rewarded for it. With your help, one day, may St. Joseph be one of the models and envy of Dominica.
God bless!

Please read Mr johnjay,that’s the St Joseph Village Council recognizing it’s villagers and not the Constituency’s recognition.
You right 12 votes where are the other people from his constituency. That is to show you how they don’t care about the farmers from Belles Layou, Layout Park etc. This is another political gimpy
