Each year the St. Kitts Nevis Fire and Rescue Services hosts an annual summer safety program in the month of July educating children from the age groups 5- 12 years old from various primary schools throughout the Federation.

The theme this year was “Building for a Safer Tomorrow by Preparing our Children Today”. Under this theme, the children were taught lessons in fire safety, traffic safety, water safety, disaster preparedness and crime and violence.

Upon completion of the program it is customary to award the Junior Fire Chief and the Junior Deputy Fire Chief. “The children were graded by answering questions about the camp, and re-enacting taught actions like the drop, stop & roll, emergency calls and what to do in an emergency”. -Leroy Caines, Assistance Coordinator

TDC Insurance company donated back to school packages to the top performers. “It is with pleasure that TDC Insurance gives back to this endeavor. We are always happy to help in programs where the importance of safety and disaster preparedness is taught.”- Evon Rogers TDC Insurance Company General Manager

The St. Kitts Nevis Fire and Rescue Services expressed its heartfelt thanks for this donation.



As the Federation’s authorized dealer for Toyota vehicles, the TDC Automotive Divisions continue to place emphasis on customer safety following the announcement of a Takata Air Bag recall on selected models.

The affected vehicles are equipped with a Takata-produced front airbag, which could potentially be susceptible to deploy abnormally in a crash.

These airbags have inflators that can rupture during deployment and may pose a greater risk when exposed to prolonged hot and humid conditions causing serious injury or even death.

If your Toyota vehicle falls within the following model range, please contact the TDC Automotive Division in St. Kitts or Nevis, who will advise you if the recall is applicable to your vehicle:

  • Toyota RAV4                        2003 to 2005 Models

  • Toyota Yaris/Belta                2006 to 2012 Models

Through its Shop and Share initiative, which started in 2014, the public is encouraged to make contributions by purchasing school supplies, stationery, and art and crafts materials towards the charitable cause.

The items bought are then placed in the ‘Yellow School Buses’, which are conveniently parked at the Point of Sale Counters until Saturday 14th September 2019, after which all the items will be presented to the beneficiaries.

For their support, patrons are rewarded with a discount coupon that is redeemable on their next purchase made at any of the two (2) participating retail stores.

With the Easter celebrations and Good Friday kite flying activities just around the corner, the TDC Home and Building Depot in St. Kitts is playing its part in making sure that the traditional art remains alive.

Twenty (20) children and their parents/guardians were on hand for the three (3) hour session facilitated by Mr. Curvis Jeffers.  The grand master of the art took participants on a historical journey, using original materials to make their own unique creations that would take to the skies on Good Friday.

Patrons also took the opportunity to learn, as they made their way through the store browsing or making purchases, with many expressing their delight and praising the activity.

The in-store workshop forms part of the company’s ongoing unique customer experience campaign that was started in 2018.  Plans are already afoot to have similar sessions for other TDC retail stores soon.
