Last update: 7 hours ago

CARICOM & Community Sports: The 19th CARICOM Road Run/Walk in Gros Islet saw Dominica’s Curvin Leatham shine in the Elite 10K (37:24) and Raedian Felix place 10th in the Local 10K, while Barbados’ Carlie Robinson won the CARICOM Secretary-General’s Trophy for Overall Female (Elite 10K Female). Faith & Youth Health: St. Thomas Parish Church marked its 25th anniversary with a call for young people, especially males, to join the Anglican Church Health Ministry and help drive physical, mental and spiritual wellness programmes across Barbados. Crop Over Culture & Careers: Senator Shane Archer used the Ceremonial Delivery of the Last Canes to push for a more organised, inclusive and year-round creative economy—so Crop Over talent and income don’t fade after the season. Festival Logistics: Temporary traffic changes are set for today’s Ceremonial Delivery of the Last Canes, with road closures and parking restrictions around St Michael Row and nearby streets. STEM Spotlight: Denisha Fields-Caleb, 16, is the 2026 SPISE scholarship recipient, starting a five-week STEM programme at UWI Cave Hill on July 5. Work Permits Debate: Home Affairs Minister Gregory Nicholls says a review of the work permit system is underway, including longer advertising periods and tighter employer requirements to show they can’t find suitable Barbadian workers. Legal Ruling on Rastafari Cannabis: Barbados’ High Court dismissed a constitutional challenge to the Sacramental Cannabis Act, ruling restrictions on Rastafari cannabis use do not unlawfully infringe religious freedom. Regional Standards & Trade: Guyana and CARICOM’s 53rd anniversary spotlight regional standards work, pointing to CROSQ’s role in strengthening trade and consumer protection across the Caribbean. Global Mobility Watch: India’s passport slipped to 125th in the Global Passport Index 2026, with visa-free access to 26 destinations including Barbados. Entertainment & Sport Business: Esquire Entertainment launched tiered ticket bundles for the CPL Party Stand during Finals Week, with food and drinks included for the CPL Final.
