“My Love, My Home, My Dominica” theme selected for Reunion year 2018

“My Love, My Home, My Dominica.”
That's the theme for Reunion Year 2018.
Earlier this year, the Government of Dominica took the decision that the year 2018 shall be observed as a Reunion Year to mark the 40TH Anniversary of Independence of the Commonwealth of Dominica.  A Reunion Year Committee under the chairmanship of His Excellency Hubert Charles, Ambassador and Advisor to the Minister for Foreign Affairs and CARICOM Affairs was established to develop and coordinate the programme of activities for the Reunion Year.
One of the first actions of the Committee was to engage the population in making suggestions for a Reunion theme. This was done mainly via radio call-in programmes. The Committee reviewed the over 300 submissions from which a selection was made.  
The theme ‘My Love, My Home, My Dominica” was chosen as it is inclusive and captures the essence of the Dominican patriotic spirit and attitude. It expresses sentiments of fondness, of love and of emotional attachment to Dominica among Dominicans at home and in the Diaspora, and among those from other lands who have made Dominica their home.  
The theme represents that common emotional thread which unites Dominicans across political, religious and spatial lines, evoking feelings of duty and commitment to defend Dominica and to protect her in the face of various challenges. It embodies the attitude that Dominicans must have and must embrace in order to unify efforts, forge ahead as a nation and build a more prosperous Dominica.
The Committee is now inviting interested persons and graphic art enterprises to submit logo designs for Reunion Year 2018.
Interested parties can contact the Ministry of Social Services or the National Cultural Division.
