Glob­alTT part­nered with Trinidad & To­ba­go Restau­rant Week (TTRW) to ex­e­cute this year’s edi­tion of TTRW, start­ing with a launch event on Sep­tem­ber 29 at Rhythms “N” Brews in Gulf City.

There was a dis­tinct Trinidad and To­ba­go flavour to the Toron­to Six­ers’ suc­cess in the just-con­clud­ed sec­ond sea­son of the Cana­da Su­per60. The Six­ers tast­ed unique dou­ble suc­cess by win­ning both the men’s and women’s ti­tles at BC Place in Van­cou­ver, Cana­da.

The Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice’s (TTPS) over­time bill has reached a lev­el that de­mands close pub­lic scruti­ny. Be­tween Jan­u­ary 2024 and Au­gust 2026, the TTPS spent al­most $794 mil­lion on over­time claims, av­er­ag­ing $24.8 mil­lion a month. In the first eight months of 2026 alone, over­time ex­pen­di­ture climbed to $283.18 mil­lion, about 50 per cent high­er than for the same pe­ri­od in 2025. If that pace con­tin­ues, the an­nu­al bill could ex­ceed $424 mil­lion.
