The Chetwynd Learning Centre, dedicated to the preservation of ideas of the late President Linden Forbes Sampson Burnham, was declared open by President David Granger on Monday.

The centre, which houses the Burnham Book Trust (BBT), Burnham Research Institute (BRI) and Burnham Educational Scholarship Trust (BEST), was opened as a part of the 60th anniversary celebration of the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) and the 94th birth anniversary of Burnham, the party’s founder leader.

The centre, located at President Granger’s former Lot 5 Thorne Drive, D’Urban Backlands residence, is equipped with modern learning aides that are expected to facilitate access to information for human empowerment.

In brief remarks, PNCR General Secretary Oscar Clarke announced that the Chetwynd Learning Centre, which is named after the father of President Granger, will also provide an information technology service for the Sophia Literacy Project.
