Mayor of Roseau, Sandra I. Royer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mayor of Roseau, Her Worship Sandra Irmine Royer has called on Dominicans to come together to make the Dominica Carnival experience a memorable one this year.<\/p>\n

She was delivering remarks at the official opening of the 2023 Carnival Season under the theme: \u201cMas An Lawi\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the past three years there have been many benefits for persons partaking in the Carnival activities and I am sure that there are opportunities, so everyone during the season search for a skill, talent within you, showcase that talent whether it\u2019s in pageantry, calypso writing, costume building, parade marshal, judging, music players, vendors, even the peacemaker, our Carnival calls for all hands on deck to make Dominica Carnival experience a memorable one this year,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She continued, \u201cLet us embrace our Dominica culture with pride, let us grow in love and brotherhood, let us celebrate our difference in unity and harmony.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Royer, she hopes that this Carnival Season will be one of the best ever experienced in recent times.<\/p>\n

\u201cI say so because we live with hope that we can do better than in previous years, we can be more creative, resourceful, entertaining, respectful and that we can exude more restraint and greater tolerance for each other,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Royer pointed out that Carnival 2023 should not only be seen as a time for wearing costumes and playing Mas, but it should also be seen as a time of making friends, casting aside our troubles, and forming fond memories.<\/p>\n

She said for over 200 years Dominica has been celebrating Carnival in the City of Roseau.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe continue the rich tradition of handing over the keys to the City of Roseau as a symbolic gesture of goodwill and social harmony throughout the Carnival season and beyond,\u201d Royer noted.<\/p>\n

She thanked those who continue to upload the rich traditions and who continue to put their collective skills and resources together to help market this Carnival product and parade in the city.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is indeed a very proud moment for us today,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She urged adults and parents to be of good influence. \u201cBe each other\u2019s keeper,\u201d Royer said.<\/p>\n

She also urged young people to preserve their dignity.<\/p>\n

\u201cI further urge all residents of the City to unite and welcome all with open hands,\u201d Royer urged. \u201cOpen your hearts to the visitors and returning Dominicans.\u201d<\/p>\n

Royer encouraged all to be respectful, and law-abiding, and to act responsibly.<\/p>\n
