The large audience was treated with eloquent addresses by several dignitaries and community leaders, among them Honourable Gaspard Charlemagne, Minister in the Ministry of Education and Culture, His Excellency Tom Chou Ambassador of Taiwan and Community Activist Mr. John Mederick.
Honourable Dr. Keith Mondesir, Parliamentary Representative for the Anse La Raye/ Canaries Constituency was vividly overcome with joy and spoke from his heart with a certain measure of passion whilst addressing his constituents. He assured the audience that “there are other ambitious community development projects to be implemented in Canaries in the near future, which aims to elevate the socio-economic standard of the villagers.
One such project is the acquisition of lands near Canaries by government to develop a housing project. The parliamentary representative also lavished praise on the Government of Taiwan for the donation of nineteen (19) computers to the Canaries community.
