The scope of the project is to demolish the existing Marketing Board building to accommodate the
proposed Box Park building. The building to be demolished is a single storey concrete framed and
blockwork building, with a flat concrete roof. Due to the size and height of the structure, it is anticipated
that the building can be demolished without the use of implosion, or explosive means, but rather by the
use of excavators and jack hammers, which will reduce the level of vibration required.

Article 239 of the treaty of Chaguaramas requires member states to elaborate a protocol relating to government procurement. The Community Protocol on Public Procurement was approved by the Conference of Heads of Government at its 30th Inter- Sessional Meeting held in St. Kitts and Nevis in February 2019. Member states are now required to sign the declaration of provisional application. The Government of Saint Lucia has passed procurement legislation which is in harmony with the provisions of the CARICOM protocol hence there are no onerous requirements associated with adopting the provisions of this protocol. The public is invited to view the protocol and procurement stakeholders are to be advised of its provisions. Concerns and queries on this Protocol can be addressed to public.procurement@govt.lc
There is growing evidence to suggest the positive impact of arts education on vulnerable youth.
Research suggests that arts education provides an outlet for vulnerable youth to develop their
self-expression and improve their proficiency in communicating their dreams and fears. Art
activities promote self-esteem, self-confidence, and feelings of acceptance and success (King &
Schwabenlender, 1994, p. 8). Arts education also has the potential to meet a variety of
developmental needs for vulnerable youth. These developmental needs include intellectual
needs, physical needs, social needs, and emotional needs.
