– Minister of Local Government and Regional Development

LINDEN Town Week is a celebration of the pride and strength of the Linden people. This is a 52-year history which we support.

Since our return to office in 2020, the focus placed by the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) government on the wellbeing of the Linden people is undoubted.

We have sat with you all to listen to your hopes, your visions, and to work with you to continue building on your development pathway. We invite you to stay the course and build with us.

More importantly, you can be assured, as any other community in Guyana, that you are part of the vision for ‘One Guyana’.

The Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development is a proud supporter of the township in its celebration of 52 years.

I am pleased to see that the number of activities has increased exponentially and that the celebration will run into two weeks.

The diversity of the planned events, from sports to farmers’ markets to the usual entertainment scene, also reflects the massive growth potential of the region to transform your image from mining to tourism.

It must be said that these Linden Town Week activities are important not only for building community spirit but also for enhancing the tourism landscape of the township which brings overall increased economic prosperity.

This is good, commendable work.

For persons who will be attending the town week celebrations, I encourage you all to make the best of the moment in the safest, most responsible manner.

The Ministry will support the township in the cleanup after the celebration, but we also encourage everyone to keep your surroundings clean and to use garbage receptacles to properly dispose of your waste.

To the people of Linden, I join you in celebrating the anniversary of your home and encourage you to open your arms to visitors in that usual Guyanese hospitable way.
Happy Linden Town Week!
