Welcome Message from the Chairman

On behalf of the members of the Local Organising Committee, it is my pleasure to welcome all of you to our CARIFTA 2009 website.

There is much excitement and anticipation emanating from the upcoming CARIFTA Games as it will provide our young athletes with a springboard from which to propel themselves on the world stage.  It is an opportunity for the region to capture the attention of the world, if only for a few days. 

It is my greatest wish that you will find a website that epitomises all that is good about Saint Lucia and the Caribbean region Informative, Engaging, Exciting, Fun filled, World class.

Explore and enjoy!
