Canal Number Two seniors treated to lunch and cultural show
Last Sunday marked the 10th Annual Canal Number Two Senior Citizen’s Social. Around Christmas time every year, members of the local business community along with US and Canadian-based Guyanese who hailed from this West Bank Demerara community, would pool their monies and treat the elders to a cultural show, a feast and gifts of food hampers.
Although it was initially meant for the elders, this year saw 340 persons inclusive of children and disabled persons being tended to at the Kawall Primary School.

Apart from the monetary donations made by these business owners, several residents of Canal Number Two would voluntarily dedicate their time and energy to preparing the meals and serving the attendees of the function.
In commemorating its 10 years mark, the volunteers of the program were awarded certificates of appreciation for their years of dedication to this “rewarding” activity.
In addition, the top six performers at the National Grade Six Assessment from West Bank of Demerara also received trophies for their academic accomplishments thus far.
The expenditure for this year’s program amounted to a whopping $1.3M.
