The Dominica Social Security (DSS) has announced plans to hold a special Pensioners’ Appreciation Day on Thursday, September 17, 2026, an initiative designed to shine a well-deserved spotlight on individuals who currently draw an Age Pension from the organization. The celebratory gathering will be hosted at the State House Grounds, running from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. This year’s event carries the thoughtful theme “Honoring Our Age Pensioners – A Promise Fulfilled…Your Reward.”, a message that underscores DSS’s commitment to recognizing the lifelong contributions of Dominica’s senior pension holders.
Unlike general public events, this appreciation day is crafted exclusively for DSS Age Pension recipients, creating a dedicated space for attendees to connect, unwind, and mark the occasion together. The full day of programming has been tailored to suit the interests of guests, with a lineup that includes lively live music and engaging live performances from local talent. To add to the warm, communal atmosphere, organizers will serve hot soup alongside other refreshments, giving pensioners the chance to share a meal and catch up with peers, old friends, and fellow beneficiaries.
For pensioners who have already been asked to confirm their participation, DSS has shared multiple contact channels for any last-minute questions or updates. Attendees can reach the organization via phone at either 255-8311 or 275-2600. The DSS headquarters is located at the intersection of Hanover and Hillsborough Streets in Roseau, and the organization also accepts inquiries via email at [email protected]. The event represents a key part of DSS’s ongoing outreach to the pensioner community, turning a formal commitment to provide financial support into a meaningful, personal gesture of gratitude.
