Berbice Bridge Company honours fathers in its employ CELEBRATED on the third Sunday in June every year, Father’s Day is a celebration to honour fathers and their influence on society.
In light of this occasion, the Berbice Bridge Company Inc. (BBCI) held a Father’s Day Programme last Friday with the fathers working with the Company and three elderly fathers residing within neighbouring villages where tokens of appreciation were given out to each father.
The Berbice Bridge Company, in a statement, noted that it not only plays the role of collecting tolls and facilitating vehicles crossing the Berbice River Bridge and vessels transiting through the Retractor opening and under the High Span but also discharges its corporate responsibilities and, more importantly, plays an integral part in the development of education, sports, supported national events and made donations to charitable and non-charitable organisations in close proximity of the Bridge or in Regions 5 and 6.
The Company had also sponsored events in other counties and as far as the hinterland.
In the past, the Company pointed out that it has sponsored many events that benefited the communities both on the eastern and western sides of the Berbice River Bridge. Now, for the year 2015, the Company has so far received 95 Public Relation requests and managed to approve 81 of these requests comprising of sponsorships of Mashramani 2015 events, donations of trophies to various non-profit and educational institutions, facilitated tours of various schools and waivered toll charges for tour buses, sponsored cricket tournaments, together with others too numerous to mention.
