A new piece of legislation, called Antiquities and Relics is being added to Barbados cultural policy document which has been in the making for the last two to three years and is expected to go to Cabinet next month.
An official in the Cultural Section told the Barbados Advocate that this particular piece of legislation will include underwater heritage since both land and sea heritage needs to be protected, especially Barbados coral reefs. The official also said that Barbados cultural programme for Cricket World Cup (CWC) 2007 is on stream and the programme for the event may be revealed shortly.
It was stated that a Cultural Action Team (CAT) has been formed and it comprises of officials from the Division of Culture, the National Cultural Foundation (NCF) and other private practitioners.
The source stated that the effort will be one co- ordinated response for the country in terms of planning the cultural aspect of CWC and the finalisation of the programme will go through CAT and be approved by the Local Organising Committee (LOC).
