The COVID-19 pandemic is a global crisis on an unprecedented scale. At Dart, our collective priority is protecting the health and safety of our people and our community, while continuing daily business operations as best we can.
As the virus continues to have an impact on human health and global economies, Dart is closely monitoring advice and guidelines from the Cayman Islands Government and international health authorities.
The boss of Cayman’s biggest resort says he and his staff are “blown away” by the “unprecedented” gesture from owner Dart Enterprises to cover staff salaries through the expected duration of the coronavirus crisis.
The Cayman Islands Government has stepped up our national response to the COVID-19 pandemic by announcing the closure of our airports to all international commercial flights from Sunday, 22 March for three weeks. Alongside the suspension of all cruise ships, this means our tourism industry is effectively at a standstill.
As the Cayman Island Fire Service (CIFS) works to contain the large fire that broke out at the George Town Landfill over the weekend and was escalated by strong winds, Dart continues to monitor the situation.
Whether you call it "upcycling," "repurposing," or "creative reuse," the results are the same: Through hard work and imagination, items that would otherwise head to the landfill are given new life. The men and women at the Community Shed are masters of turning one person’s trash into another’s treasure.
Since 2006, Cayman’s Acts of Random Kindness — better known as ARK — has endeavoured to change lives for the better in the Cayman Islands. Whether it’s restoring a home for a single mother and her children, making sure underprivileged students don’t go hungry or reconnecting electricity and water for families that cannot afford to maintain their utilities, ARK’s programmes strive to improve quality of life for the most vulnerable in our society.
