The moment was deemed celebratory.
Coming shortly after the last community consultation held in December, principals of Callaloo Cay stayed true to their agreement to convene an advisory body to address and discuss environmental concerns. The meeting included a site visit and a lengthy yet comprehensive explanation of mitigation measures by Trinidadian hydrologist Fazir Khan. At the conclusion of the meeting, there was a greater level of understanding of how the development would proceed. Representatives of the department of the environment and the Development Control authority came in their numbers and added great depth to the discussion.
Callaloo Cay again demonstrated its commitment to youth and sports by its continued sponsorship of two sporting entities. A donation of USD$5000.00 was made to two of the Old Road Community’s youth and sports clubs. Representatives of the Old Road FC and the Callaloo Cay Young Lions said the donation will go towards providing equipment, refreshments, uniforms and continued development of the community’s youth. The initiative forms part of Callaloo Cay’s triple bottom line principle: people, planet and profit.
Fulfilling its promise to the people of the Old Road community and surroundings, principals of Callaloo Cay in December returned to meet with villagers, leaders and interested parties for a second consultation. The meeting sought to address environmental concerns and communicate plans related to the phases of development. Experts were on hand to add further support and clarity where required. As a result of the meeting, it was agreed that an environment advisory committee would be formed and that the members would be a cross representation of all stakeholders.
