Tuesday, 30 June 2009 |
 Last week, fishermen and boat owners in the Lagoon area received a memorandum from the Fisheries Department captioned;
“THE REMOVAL OF YOUR BOAT FROM PORT LOUIS COMPOUND”
The memorandum advised that from Monday 22nd, June 2009, Camper and Nicholson developers would be officially occupying the coastal land space which is located on the Lagoon Road. The memo advised that the space where the boats are docked will be used for the storage of heavy duty equipment and that Camper & Nicholson proposed to relocate the boats lower down.
Fishermen were rather shocked when persons from Camper & Nicholson approached them to remove their boats and advised that the area would be FENCED right up to the sidewalk since Camper & Nicholson OWNED the land. This was repeated by the Manager of Camper & Nicholson, Grenada in a news interview. |

St. George’s University Gains Another Recognition of its Medical Degree
The Caribbean Accreditation Authority for Education in Medicine and other Health Professions (CAAM-HP) http://www.caam-hp.org/granted full accreditation to St. George's University School of Medicine as of June 10, 2009. In 2007, St. George’s University was the first private medical school to be evaluated, site visited, and to receive provisional accreditation by meeting the academic standards and performance criteria mandated by CAAM-HP.
Full accreditation had previously been granted only to the University of the West Indies, a public university with multiple campuses serving the nations of the Caribbean.
“Full accreditation further secures St. George’s University’s place as the premier medical school in the Caribbean, although the University has been provisionally accredited by CAAM-HP since 2007,” said Charles R. Modica, Chancellor. “This adds to our long list http://www.sgu.edu/about-sgu/recognition-standardssom.html of recognitions and approvals by external bodies, perhaps more than any medical program in the world.”

|
Monday, 15 June 2009 |
 The comprehensive and widely researched project produced by the Young Leaders of Anglican High School (AHS) earned them first place and the coveted Award of Distinction at the recent 2009 RBTT Young Leaders 2009 Award Ceremony.
AHS was among 15 other secondary schools throughout Grenada that participated in this year’s Young Leaders programme, which focused on the theme: “The Green Revolution…. Global Challenge, Regional Responsibility, National Focus”.
The theme challenged the Young Leaders to take steps to reduce their ‘carbon footprint’. They were also encouraged to take the ‘Green Revolution’ home to the hearts and minds of their families and communities through innovative and resourceful projects based on solid research. Students undertook activities such as community walks, symposiums and the erection of billboards to address this theme, with recycling recurring as the main concept to convey the ‘go green’ message. |

This year’s program which included over three hundred and fifty fourth-form students from nineteen of the nation’s secondary schools, culminated in a graduation ceremony at the Charter Hall, St. George’s University on Thursday May 28, 2009.
Chairperson of the Junior Achievement Programme, Patricia Maher, commented that the 2008/2009 JA programme was “bigger and better” than ever due to the fact that there was increased participation from the schools and increased financial support from corporate sponsors. Ms Maher also attributed the tremendous growth of the programme to the efforts put in by the volunteers and teachers and the quality of the work done by the students. This, she said, made the JA 2008 /2009 even better than previous years and resulted in a very impressive Trade Fair.” |
