Local Arima ~ History of Holy Cross College


Holy Cross College is situated on Calvary Hill, in the city of Arima, which is located in the north-east of Trinidad and Tobago. This twin island republic is the last in the archipelago of islands of the Caribbean, just north of Venezuela in South America.

Arima is home to some of our indigenous people – the First Nations (Caribs). Our Santa Rosa feast is celebrated with ancestral heritage, and cultural festivities involving Parang music.

This rich cultural tradition of the people of Arima help gave birth to Holy Cross College. The College was started by the Dominican Order of Preachers in 1957. In 2008 Holy Cross College celebrated its 50th Anniversary.

The Holy Cross College was first located on the corner of Woodford St. and Church St. It was formally the Ince’s Property and that building was then used as quarters for staff of the College. An Arcon building procured from Sprostons Ltd. was used as the temporary College Building.

The College was opened on the 18th of September, 1957 with an enrollment of 74 boys, because that was the amount the building could accommodate. From there the College was resituated at Calvary, Arima, where it stands today.

Good info here...

I went to school there and didnt even know this

Local Wrecking ~ POS


Port-of-Spain City Corporation will relaunch its wrecking service from March 1 in Port-of-Spain West and on Charlotte Street during business hours under a new wrecking policy, according to City Mayor Keron Valentine.

“You will not see wrecking all day and all night. Wrecking during the week will be done more or less during business hours,” he said.

He said the wreckers will target drivers parking at street corners, on the sidewalks, those blocking driveways and entrances to residences, parking on pavements, and those blocking fire hydrants.
The fine for retrieving a wrecked vehicle is $500 of which $300 will go to the wrecking company and $200 to the city corporation to be used for administrative purposes, Valentine said.

The boundaries where wrecking will take place cover Richmond Street East to the Queen’s Park Savannah North, and from Wrightson Road South to the west of Mucurapo Road at the corner of Carlton Avenue and Jeffers Lane.

Wrecking will be done on Mondays to Wednesdays from 10 am to 6 pm; on Thursdays from 10 am to midnight; on Fridays from 10 am to 2 am; and on Saturdays and Sundays from 6 pm to 2 am.
Wrecking on Charlotte Street will be done from Mondays to Fridays from 7 am to 4 pm.

The motor vehicles wrecked will be stored to the TTPS Traffic Branch, and at the City Corporation car park at the end of Wrightson Road.

Each wrecker will be outfitted with cameras at its front and rear, Prieto said, and video footage will be handed over to the city police.

Police officers will also be in uniforms. People who feel trapped in their homes and inconvenienced because their driveways are blocked, Prieto said, can call the city police to assist on 290-3608.

Local Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Sailor ~ Andrew Lewis


Introducing the incredible,super human Andrew Lewis

The Trinidad & Tobago Olympic Sailor returned to the water for the first time in almost 3 months

After suffering a serious injury at a training camp last December in Brazil - Andrew has shocked his team and well wishers by making such a recovery in such a short time

He set out for a short session followed in a boat by a quietly nervous father,team and media personel.

True testament that hard work,dedication and belief can lead to great things

Local Toco ~ Forest Point - 2


One of Toco’s best kept nature secrets is the place referred to as La Forêt Beach or Forest Point.

This magical Isle situated 2 km south of the Galera Point Lighthouse consists of two pristine beaches each with different attractions.

The seascape along this rocky coastline is part of the larger L’anse Contre Bay. As with many of the North Coast beaches, they all have French names.

The historic Cedula de Population of 1783 invite these foreign farmers to migrate to Trinidad and develop the country.

The landscape at La Forêt Point divided by a rocky peninsula that is 100 metres long and 25 metres high.

This headland is a lovely spot to sit, relax and recharge the senses under the cool Atlantic Breeze.

The sands sparkle against a backdrop of towering granite boulders constantly been worn away by time. The sedimentary shoreline modified by the consistent pounding of the Atlantic waves.

The vegetation made up of secondary growth forest sheltered by coconut and almond trees. The picturesque background of the Toco Forest Reserve with its lush green slopes adds to the breath-taking scenery.

The beach on the northern side of the headland has calm and soothing waters.

The bay sheltered by a barrier reef has Jacuzzi like salt ponds that provide safe conditions for non-swimmers and children.

The beach on the southern side of the headland has gentle waves for swimming but is not as calm.

The walk to La Forêt will take 30 minutes and is along a wide open estate road.

The pathway exposed to the sun radiation slopes gently towards the sea

Local Moruga ~ La Ruffin


The Spring Bridge and a major architectural and cultural landmark, this is the only operating spring bridge in Trinidad.

Constructed in 1899 to offer access to a steamer collection point at La Ruffin, the Moruga Spring Bridge was used by big cocoa estates to transport their cocoa produce over the river.

Back then cocoa was the main crop of Moruga, with estates stretching extensively over the landscape

The suspension bridge is now used for recreational purposes by visitors as well as local families to access the La Retreite beach on the eastern side.

This bridge is the last of its kind as its well known counterpart spanning the Marianne River at Blanchisseuse has been replaced by a conventional bridge.
