It was a night of double honours for Guyana’s former Honorary Consul General to Toronto.  Reached for comment Doobay said, “Serving our community as the Consul General, was the distinction of my life. Receiving a national award in recognition of the contributions I made is the icing on the cake.
“I owe much gratitude to the leaders, activists and volunteers of this great community, whose determination, support and love of country have encouraged and energised me for more than a decade.
“It is only fitting that I accept this award in the name of our Guyanese Canadian Community! Here is to the best Diaspora community!”
