2020 INDEPENDENCE MESSAGE FROM MOST REV. GABRIEL MALZAIRE 26 October 2020
Embracing New Opportunities
It is worth noting that within the last five years, our country’s independence celebrations have been experienced in the midst of three major crises, namely,
Tropical Storm Erika in 2015,
Hurricane Maria in 2017 and now
Covid-19 in 2020. Each with progressively intensive repercussions, have brought our usual festivities to a screeching halt. The latter, although being of pandemic proportions, has been relatively gentle to Dominica, or more precisely, the professional and scientific approach of the Ministry of Health and the largely positive responses of the citizenry to the crisis, have made Dominica one of the countries with the best response to the pandemic.
