-Prime Minister cuts ribbon, another venture by Double Day Hotel Management
A FUN and recreational park, located opposite Double Day Hotel, at Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo was officially opened by Prime Minister Samuel Hinds on Sunday. The Double Day Fun Park is another venture by Mr. and Mrs. Bhola, proprietors of Double Day Hotel. The proprietors have made other significant efforts to benefit the community such as providing a taxi service and a library, according to the Government Information Agency (GINA).
“We have to balance the work and play…We must find time for leisure. We must have provisions for leisure”, Prime Minister Hinds asserted as he commended Mr. Bhola.
The colourful park comprises of trampolines, merry-go-round, slides, swings and many other amusing games for children. Chairman of Region 3, Mr. Julius Faerber, in his remarks, noted that Mr. Bhola has been doing a tremendous amount of work in and around the Tuschen community. “We applaud his effort for working closely in ensuring that the community is better,” Faerber lauded.
The recreational park will be available to youths free of cost. However, there would be a zero tolerance to the consumption of alcohol and smoking.
“This park is opened for the public; care it and we will enjoy it,” Mr. Bhola said to his fellow community members.
Prime Minister Hinds also visited the Parika Stelling where he was directed to the roll-on, roll-off ferries that arrived in Guyana last year by Walter Willis, Technical Advisor to the Government.
Prime Minister Hinds observed that there has been encouraging changes at the stelling, mostly Government-driven. These included less littering; boats used to transport people have well designed shelters and all passengers are wearing their life jackets.
