Press Release: Health Walk
As indicated in our New Year’s release, the Sports Division will embark on a number of activities during 2012 as it seeks to pursue its mandate to enhance the quality of life and to encourage healthy lifestyles among Dominicans. The encouragement of Dominicans of all ages to practice healthy lifestyles is enshrined in the mission statement of the Division.
One of the initiatives for the 2012 year is a series of Health Walks in the various districts of Dominica. Walking is a gentle, low-impact exercise that can ease any one into a higher level of fitness and while combating many illnesses. It is a safe form of exercise, which requires no practice as is accessible to just about everybody.
Every month a walk would be planned and officers at the Sports Division would walk along a particular route that would pass through certain communities. Use of a PA system to play music and give out healthy tips will also be used to encourage participation by residents of communities along the way.
In this regard, the Sports Division informs that the 1st walk will be done on Saturday, February 25, 2012 and will start off at the Newtown Playing Field at 8:00 am and travel through to the Champagne area in the South West of Dominica.
The Division encourages the communities of Roseau, Newtown, Kingshill, Wall House, Melvile Battery, Loubiere, Hollywood, Siboulie and Pointe Michel to join the walk as we play our part in the fight against the number of non chronic communicable diseases that our country is plagued with at this moment.
There is no registration form, no cost, no obligations...just good healthy fun for everyone.
Clubs, teams, public servants, youth groups, our seniors, teenagers ....everyone is encouraged to join as the Sports Division seeks to encourage Dominicans to walk whenever and wherever as a part of their daily lives.

It turned out to be an all PSS Boys Final as Briel Thomas won easily over Chea Seaman 11 - 3, 11 - 9. Travis Daniel had a much tougher fight, winning Kendel Jeremy 7 - 11, 11 - 8, 11 - 9. In an exciting all PSS final, National Player Briel Thomas lost to a more determined Travis Daniel 6 - 11, 11 - 8, 7 - 11, 11 - 9, 11 - 9.
The three day tournament exposed talented players in both the boys and girls categories and gave the other schools that were not represented in large numbers an opportunity to see the high standard of play at the two major schools with organized Table Tennis programs. The Sports Division would like to compliment the PSS and NECS for their success and the SMA, DGS and PCSS for their participation and at the same time encourage the other secondary schools to develop table tennis programs, to give their students another option of participating in the only indoor sport that the Sports Division offers in its program.
