Tennis Festival

Several stakeholders partnered in an effort to host a tennis festival at the national tennis center. The ultimate goal? To introduce St. Lucian's to the ageless sport and have a good time with members of the community.

Stephen Wayne Louis Memorial Lecture

The Department of youth & sports in collaboration with the Stephen Wayne Louis Foundation hosted the 20th annual Stephen Wayne Louis Memorial lecture on Saturday April 13th at the Financial centre in Point Seraphine.

National Carnival Queen Show Audition

With the 2019 National Carnival Queen show less than three months, beauties from across the island gathered at the National Cultural Centre on Saturday April 13th for the annual auditions. Though candidates were few in number, organizers are anticipating a high-quality event.

Local Cast

On this day last year, Saint Lucians were coming to terms with the adjustment in mindset of Tourism policy makers that brought a stripped-down Jazz festival under the banner of the Soleil series of summer festival. As Jazz season approaches once again, let’s take a look back at that reporting.

Leebo's Legacy

Legendary St Lucian producer and recording artist Francis 'Leebo' De Lima is being honored with an award in his name. This award forms part of the National Arts Festival and will be bestowed to one extraordinary local artist.

Learning Pickleball

There is a new sport on island, introduced by the National Tennis Center. The new sport i intended to make it easy for all ages to maintain a good level of physical activity and to engender a sporting culture at all age and ability levels. Plus, it’s loads of fun. The Choice News Team went to report on the phenomenon.

Jazz Festival Voxx

Despite a programme of activities having been published for the 2019 Saint Lucia Jazz Festival, many have said that the normal buzz of promotional activities is absent this year. With a press briefing promised by Culture Minister Fortuna Belrose on the festival failing to materialize, we ask you your thoughts on Jazz 2019.

Is Art Dead?

Many people lament the death of a vibrant theatre and art scene on the island. But is art really dead in Saint Lucia? Reporter Love Spooner talks to a prolific Saint Lucian author and a dramatist from a neighbouring island about the state of art in sweet saint lucia.

Fellaz Review-Fatherhood

The premiere of Choice TV’s latest show made a splash with audiences over the weekend. Fellaz aims to provide insight on various hot topics, all from a man’s point of view. Nelcia Charlemagne has a review.

Certified Clean Up

Good air quality in buildings is a major concern of late, as we begin to make the connections between poor air quality and illnesses. One local environmental services company tells us why international standards and certification are essential in the move to improve the health of buildings.
