WE are excited for this year’s Linden Town Week. We open the doors of our township and invite everyone to enjoy the culture that Linden brings and everything we have to offer.

There is something available for everyone, whether it is family-oriented, religious, for seniors or for youth.

As Mayor, I am happy that these 13 days of activities will bring support to our local businesses and entrepreneurs.

While those from our local business community are still recovering from the shock of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are relieved to see the light slowly approaching.

To see the growth of Linden Town Week, not only in the number of days but also in the support from the community, has been a warming experience.

We have seen tremendous support from the business community.

Linden Town Week continues to grow and we must evolve to grow with it and put systems in place to facilitate this growth.

Linden Town Week will be more organised, better planned, and even better marketed as we continue to build and grow. Even with all of this growth happening now, I am forever optimistic that there is always room to climb higher.

As we look to the future, it is the desire of the Mayor & Town Council to ensure there is proper continuity on planning Town Week activities even when this Council moves on.

There must be strategic growth in the prominence of our celebration, and in the wealth of the business community that supports us.

For future Linden Town Weeks, expect more representation for faith-based bodies, a day for celebrating the culture of all the peoples of Guyana, and a day for our communities so that every corner of our township can have an event throughout the festivities targetted specifically for the development of their area.

We need you to make this happen. For now, let’s celebrate.

A Happy Linden Town Week to everyone, and a warm welcome to our visitors.
