Jan 03, 2018 Sports

Minister of Social Cohesion with the responsibility for Culture, Youth and Sport, Dr. George Norton has vowed to travel the length and breadth of Guyana in his quest to unite Guyana and make the country a better place.
Since taking up office the Minister has been traveling to various part of the country as he seeks to fulfill the Collation Government mandate.
Speaking at a forum in East Berbice held at the Rose Hall Town Primary School recently, the Minister used the opportunity to urge stakeholders from the Regional Democratic Council, Mayor and Town Council and members of civil society to unite and foster a dream that will change Guyana and make it a better place.
Norton said that he has observed over the years that many barriers have been set up to create divisions throughout the country and it is the mandate of his Ministry to break down those barriers and create a level playing field for all. “We need to be united and work together so that we can build a better Guyana that all of us can be proud of.”
Minister Norton told the gathering that Social Cohesion coupled with Culture, Youth and Sports are strong avenues to push for the deepening of social cohesion and integration across Guyana which he is prepared to do.
The Minister noted that the Ministry has been in motion, traveling the length and breadth of Guyana engaging the youth in meaningful dialogue, upgrading community centers under the Grounds Enhancement Programme and ensuring that traditions and cultures are kept alive in the communities.
