Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit will attend the “Amazona Imperialis – Dominica Rising” Benefit Gala in Toronto Canada on October 13, where he will formally deliver the keynote address to the Dominicans who are in attendance at that show.
Mr Skerrit left Dominica yesterday. His trip is expected to highlight Dominica’s gratitude for the solidarity shown by the Diaspora community immediately after the passage of Hurricane Maria, when they rallied to the aid of Dominica to donate over CDN$1.5 million worth of relief supplies. The Prime Minister will also reaffirm the resilience of Dominica in the face of climate change. Mr Skerrit’s schedule will reportedly be focused on further strengthening the relationships between Dominica and members of its Diaspora, the Toronto Economic Council of the Mayor’s office, the Premier of Ontario and his Caribbean Caucus Ministers. On October 12, Prime Minister Skerrit will address nearly one hundred volunteers who were highlighted for their efforts and contributions to Dominica in its time of need. During his address, he will review the close cooperation between Dominica and its Diaspora on a wide range of topics. On October 14, Prime Minister Skerrit is slated to engage with the Diaspora in an open dialogue at a town hall meeting which will reportedly also be televised and open to mainstream Canadian media. The meeting will afford the Prime Minister the opportunity to affirm and review progress with the government’s agenda of supporting private sector-led growth and enhancing the country’s people-to-people ties.
