Barbados' Steve Stoute has been declared honorary life President of the Caribbean Association of National Olympic Committees (CANOC) after stepping-down as head of the body he has presided over since it was founded in 2003.

Stoute was replaced as President on an interim basis by Trinidad and Tobago's Brian Lewis during an Annual General Meeting in Guadeloupe last week after honouring a commitment to relinquish the role following Rio 2016.

The Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee (TTOC) extends sincerest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of actor and community activist Hal Greaves. The unstinting and unwavering dedication and conviction of Mr Greaves to make a positive difference in the lives of the youth in at risk and challenged communities is well known and acknowledged. His selfless commitment to being a mentor, father figure and peacemaker served as an inspiration to many.

FOR those who had direct contact with Hal Greaves, it is a shocking blow to lose him suddenly. As the news hit social media, scores of comments flowed about this “one of a kind” social worker and dramatist. Many of the persons in south Trinidad remember him from the popular theatre group, My People Incorporated.
