In a celebration of cultural heritage and theatrical excellence, the Alwin Bully Foundation, in partnership with La Cour Des Arts De La Dominique Inc., is set to breathe new life into the iconic play ‘STREAK’. This revival commemorates the 50th anniversary of its debut and coincides with Dominica’s 47th Independence Day festivities, while also honoring the 77th birthday of the legendary playwright Alwin Bully. Originally written by Bully and first performed by People’s Action Theatre in 1975, ‘STREAK’ has left an indelible mark on Caribbean theatre. The play, which toured extensively across Dominica and the Caribbean, captures a transformative era marked by the Black Power and Rastafarian movements, reflecting the social, political, and cultural upheavals of the time. It poignantly depicts the struggles of young people navigating these turbulent changes. The upcoming performances, scheduled for November 1 and 2 at The Geralds Hall, will feature a talented ensemble of over 20 actors, directed by Severin Mckenzie with Curtis Clarendon as assistant director. A media launch for the event will take place on September 30 at The Factory. Theatre enthusiasts and supporters are encouraged to attend this historic revival, with tickets available for $75 at Bulls Eye Pharmacy.

Environmental Health officials issue detailed reminder tackling illegal dumping issue
The Environmental Health Department in Dominica has heightened its vigilance against illegal waste disposal, a pressing issue that threatens both environmental integrity and public health. Environmental Health Officer Kursha Augustine, in a recent statement, highlighted the severe implications of improper waste management, particularly during the hurricane season. Augustine urged residents to adopt responsible waste-handling practices, including recycling, reusing materials, and composting organic waste for backyard gardens. The department also emphasized the importance of community involvement in organized cleanup campaigns and the proper disposal of waste through official channels to prevent re-dumping and the proliferation of pests. Residents are encouraged to report illegal dumping activities to local authorities, the Solid Waste Management Corporation, or their village councils. Augustine warned that unmanaged waste attracts pests that can spread diseases, pollute water sources, and degrade community spaces. The Ministry of Health, Wellness, and Social Services called on all residents to take proactive steps to maintain cleanliness, protect public health, and preserve the beauty and safety of their communities. The statement concluded with a reminder that safeguarding the environment and public health is a shared responsibility, especially during the hurricane season.

Dominica joins the rest of the world in the observance of World Tourism Day today
On September 27th, Dominica marked World Tourism Day, reaffirming its commitment to becoming a resilient and innovative tourism destination. Tourism Minister Denise Charles-Pemberton emphasized that tourism is more than just an industry for Dominica—it is a national mission that empowers communities, sustains livelihoods, and promotes the island’s unique identity as the ‘Nature Island of the Caribbean.’
In her statement, Charles-Pemberton highlighted the strides Dominica has made in recovering from the challenges of the global pandemic. The government’s efforts to expand air access, improve infrastructure, and advance sustainable practices have yielded significant results. With weekly flights by United Airlines, daily services by American Airlines, and expanded regional routes through Contour Airlines and Caribbean Airlines, Dominica has become more accessible to international travelers.
A key milestone in this journey is the extension and grooving of the Douglas-Charles Airport’s runway, a project that enhances safety and prepares the island for larger aircraft. This development is part of the broader plan to establish Dominica as a hub for international travel.
Cruise tourism continues to thrive, creating opportunities for local vendors, tour operators, farmers, and cultural performers. Additionally, Dominica’s pristine waters and world-class diving and whale-watching experiences have solidified its reputation as the Caribbean’s premier eco-marine destination.
Cultural tourism also plays a vital role, with events like the World Creole Music Festival (WCMF) and Dominica’s bouyon music scene energizing the youth, fostering national pride, and attracting thousands of visitors annually. These pillars of air, cruise, marine, and cultural tourism collectively create a diversified product that benefits every Dominican.
Charles-Pemberton underscored the importance of collaboration between the government, private sector, cultural groups, and the diaspora in driving tourism growth. Through fiscal incentives, training programs, and strategic policies, the government ensures that the benefits of tourism reach every household.
As Dominica celebrates World Tourism Day under the theme ‘Tourism and Sustainable Transformation,’ the island stands proudly on a path from recovery to renewal, and now to resilience. The mission is clear: to secure Dominica’s place as a world-class destination rooted in authenticity, sustainability, and shared prosperity.
