The vibrant fishing community of Oistins became a beacon of national pride on Thursday evening as residents, fisherfolk, and government officials convened for a momentous event. The Berinda Cox Fish Market hosted the unveiling of a ‘Wall of Honour’ and the launch of a new publication titled *Oistins: Its History & Evolution Residents’ Perspective*. This book meticulously documents the community’s profound history and its pivotal role in Barbados’ development. The occasion was part of the *We Gatherin’ 2025* initiative, with Christ Church taking center stage to celebrate its heritage. Senator Dr. Shantal Munro-Knight, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office with responsibility for Culture, delivered the keynote address, emphasizing the event’s significance in honoring the unsung heroes of Barbadian society. She described it as a milestone that underscores the contributions of ordinary individuals who form the backbone of the nation. Dr. Munro-Knight announced two major commitments: making the Oistins Heritage Tour a permanent fixture on the national cultural calendar and distributing the new book across schools and libraries to preserve and share the community’s stories. Minister Wilfred Abrahams, Member of Parliament for Christ Church East, highlighted Oistins’ historical and economic importance, calling it the commercial capital of Barbados. He stressed the need to invest in the fishing industry, which sustains the nation’s economy and food production. The Wall of Honour, featuring generations of fishing families and those lost at sea, stood as a poignant tribute. Dr. Shelly-Ann Cox, Chief Fisheries Officer, praised the community’s dedication to preserving its heritage. The event concluded with attendees reflecting on Oistins’ enduring legacy as a cornerstone of Barbadian identity.
