Scene from opening of Carnival in Roseau 2020<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Carnival patrons are told to be responsible during the upcoming celebrations.<\/p>\n

Mayor of Roseau, Her Worship Sandra Irmine Royer said during festive times, revelers-young people especially-tend to get involved in practices that could have a negative impact on their lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cToo many young people fall victim [to] ill effects of drugs and alcohol abuse as well as unsafe practice of sex,\u201d Royer said during the official opening of Mas Domnik 2020 on Saturday.<\/p>\n

She said while everyone is encouraged to have fun, \u201cthey must do so in a responsible manner\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor us in Roseau we want all carnival lovers to have a wonderful time this season, however, I must stress that we want people to enjoy themselves [responsibly]. Carnival is only for a time and mistakes that you make during this time can affect the rest of your life,\u201d she cautioned.<\/p>\n

Royer is also advising residents to be on the lookout for people with bad intentions.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cWe know that during this time there will be some among us with malicious intent, please be on the lookout and guard yourself and your children,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The Mayor also encouraged those participating in the celebrations to patronize the vendors and join a band.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am urging all carnival lovers to play an [important] part in Dominica\u2019s culture. We are resilient, we are strong and we have potential to build Dominica together in many ways,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The cleanliness of the City should be given priority, according to Royer, calling on everyone to dispose of their waste in a responsible manner.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn doing so, we will demonstrate a level of care for the environment,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n

The theme for this year\u2019s Real Mas is \u201cPlay the Rhythm, Play Mas\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"  Carnival patrons are told to be responsible during the upcoming celebrations.
