Regional Executive Officer of Region Two, Rupert Hopkinson says the agricultural Region of Pomeroon-Supenaam will use the Jubilee celebrations to market itself and bring awareness to the products and services it has to offer Guyanese here and further afield.
He made this disclosure at a recent meeting of the RDC held specially to address issues affecting the Region.
Under topic of “Celebration of our 50th Independence Anniversary” which was up for discussion, the REO said presently a team is working on a website that will provide essential information about the Region.

He explained that with the website up persons would be able to access information on the established parks, markets, tourist attraction sites, important monuments and landmarks within Region 2.
Meanwhile in observance of Guyana’s 50th Independence, the Region will host a two-night activity slated for May 21 and 22 at the Anna Regina Community Centre ground branded under the theme “Flavour of Region Two”.
It will give businesses the opportunity to meet, socialise and generate economic activities.
“You want boil crab, barbeque, cassava bread, fresh coconut water, then you have to visit the two-night activities,” Hopkinson said where booths in some cases would be free to businesses in Region Two.
It is his wish that the activity once successful would be an annual feature and afford persons the opportunity to visit the Region.
Currently there is a planning committee working to pull the activities off. The committee is headed by the DREO, Sunil Singh and AREO Evett Yastings.
As a result, Region Two Chairman Devanand Ramdatt called for the calendar of events for the 50th Independence to be made available to all RDC councillors. He also requested for all regional and national events be integrated as Independence Observance. Ramdatt also urged wider stakeholder participation from the business community.
