Minister of State, Joseph Harmon on Sunday pledged Government’s continued support to lift the profile of the annual Bartica Regatta and to transform it into a “truly national event”.
Harmon was at the time delivering remarks at the opening of the 67th Bartica Regatta, according to a Ministry of the Presidency statement.
“We continue to strive to provide an enabling environment for such activities as the Bartica Regatta to expand and grow. We continue to provide and improve infrastructure, not only in Bartica but all across Guyana to facilitate the good life for our people. Here in Bartica you can see the boardwalk, the improved community centre ground, better roads, better sanitation, improved Information and communication technology infrastructure and a new radio station to give a few examples. All of this is set within a programme to make Bartica a model ‘green’ town, a model for the ‘greening ‘of Guyana, for the establishment of our ‘green’ economy and the ‘green’ state of Guyana,” he said.
