Georgetown M&CC kicks off 175th anniversary with church service

President David Granger on Sunday morning attended a Special Thanksgiving Service to commemorate the 175th anniversary of the City of Georgetown, which was held at the St George’s Cathedral.
The President was joined by Vice President and Public Security Minister Khemraj Ramjattan; former Prime Minister and Mayor of Georgetown, Hamilton Greene; Minister within the Public Health Ministry, Dr Karen Cummings; and Mayor of the City of Georgetown, Patricia Chase Green.
In observance of the anniversary, the Georgetown Mayor and Town Council will be embarking on a week of activities, dubbed ‘City Week’ with the aim of fostering a closer relationship among employees through sports, cultural, and other forms of social entertainment; providing an opportunity for the business community to showcase locally produced items and for the Council to form alliances with other critical stakeholders and improve the Council’s corporate image.
Commencing with the church service on Sunday, the activities will run until August 25 and include an art and craft exhibition on Main Street, a health fair and the Mayor’s Ball and cocktail reception.
