For far too many decades, St. Kitts and Nevis has missed critical opportunities to fully spotlight and institutionalise the teaching of an event that earned Buckley’s Estate the distinction of being recognised as the “Birthplace of Caribbean Democracy.” This was not a local disturbance confined to a sugar estate where workers stood up for justice; it was a seismic moment that ignited political awakening, labour reform, and democratic consciousness across the Caribbean and beyond-AN UPRISING!

The Rotary Club of Liamuiga proudly hosted its 19th Annual Primary School Spelling Bee Competition on Thursday, October 23, 2025, continuing its long-standing commitment to literacy and youth development across St. Kitts and Nevis.

The Nevis Limited Liability Company Ordinance (Amendment) Bill, 2025, and the Nevis Business Corporation Ordinance (Amendment) Bill, 2025, were passed unanimously during a sitting of the Nevis Island Assembly on November 06, 2025. The two Bills, first introduced on September 25, 2025, by the Honourable Premier Mark Brantley, Minister of Finance in the Nevis Island Administration (NIA), aim to strengthen the legislative framework of Nevis’ financial services sector. The amendments enhance transparency and ensure company records remain accurate, up to date, and fully compliant with international standards.

The Department of Cultural Heritage continues to address issues raised by cultural practitioners, in this instance, filling the need for more traditional cultural music by facilitating a Cultural Instrument Master Class that began November 01, 2025. The Master Class will run for seven weeks at the Dr. William Connor Primary School every Saturday until December 20.  Participants are being taught how to play the kettle drum by Devon Nisbett and Russle Jarvis, the Bass Drum by Alarick Gumbs and the Fife by Wayne Simmonds.

Wednesday, October 29, 2025 was a day of celebration, togetherness and spontaneity when dozens of residents of the Parish of St. Peter came out to reminisce, recall and regroup at the Cultural Heritage coordinated We Village Dat, the St. Peter’s edition. The community upbuilding event brought St. Peter’s residents together, passing on the history to younger ones in attendance and fostering a sense of pride in the accomplishments of the community’s nation-builders.

December is approaching, and excitement is building as the Caribbean Talented Teen Pageant returns to St. Kitts and Nevis. This year’s edition promises to be bigger, better, and more spectacular than ever before, reaffirming its place as a staple of the region’s cultural calendar.

The St. Kitts Tourism Authority (SKTA) hosted the official launch of the Four Islands, One Escape initiative, a groundbreaking multi-destination tourism collaboration between St. Kitts, Nevis, St. Maarten, St. Martin, Saba, and St. Eustatius.

“Another thing that will be coming soon, and we are saying it here, we are soon going to have red light cameras to detect red light violations,” Deputy Commissioner of Police Cromwell Henry revealed while speaking on Freedom FM’s ‘Issues’ programme on Wednesday 5th March 2025, hosted by Jamiella McPhail featuring members of the Police High Command. 

This media house, in tribute, wishes to highlight the words of remembrance shared during interviews with those who knew the late Mr. Dawud St.Lloyd ‘Mudada’ Byron earlier this year as family members, friends, and well-wishers gathered in the East Basseterre community at Leonard Dickenson Road (opposite the Newtown Play Field) for the official launch of the Youth On The Go Community Picnic Square in his memory.

Such recognition came during the official opening ceremony held on Wednesday 5th November 2025 at the St. Peter’s Anglican Roundabout whereby the work collaboration with project engineers, the consultants- Construction Engineer Association Limited (Trinidad) and also the Public Works Department was highlighted.

In recent times, what we see unfolding on our streets can hardly be called harmless enjoyment. Children-mostly if not entirely boys-run through communities (with eyewitness reports about the Basseterre area) with Roman candles in hand, pointing them at each other like toy guns, firing live sparks while shouting and laughing as if they were in a game of combat. The thrill and laughter may seem innocent, but there is an undeniable danger lurking behind the smoke and noise. Some have taken the “play” to the roadsides, darting into traffic without care, their excitement blinding them to the very real risk of injury-or worse.

The report from the survey conducted across Saint Kitts was presented to the Water Services Department on October 06, 2025.
