Labour Act Overhaul: The Department of Labour, Co-operatives and Consumer Affairs begins a review of the Labour Act to modernise it, with stakeholder consultations already underway. Climate Resilience Funding: CABRIC opens grant opportunities for locally led coastal resilience projects across participating countries including St. Lucia, with small grants up to US$150,000 and larger options up to US$500,000. Heat-Ready Schools: Schools adjust routines during the heatwave, including allowing students to drink water during class and using shade, ventilation and fans. Panama Canal Pressure on Imports: CARICOM’s private sector group warns Panama Canal restrictions could expose US$8–10 billion in annual imports to higher costs and thinner inventories into 2027. Tourism & Industry Signals: OECS launches its Advanced Digital Skills Scholarship applications (Sept. 10–20) to build advanced tech capability for the future of work.
