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.<\/p>\n

The competition was recently launched at the Dominica Public Service Union (DPSU) Building.<\/p>\n

She said her group will focus on the transformation of the Giraudel\/Eggleston Flower Show site.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe 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,\u201d Alexander said.<\/p>\n

She said the competition will also be used to bring back some past activities with some additions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe 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,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Alexander believes that the competition is creating more opportunities for community groups.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe 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,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She also mentioned that the community had an improved National Employment Programme (NEP) which started in September 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been pressing forward with the NEP, the Ministry of Tourism and others,\u201d Alexander stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"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.
