The High Commission of Canada in partnership with Equal Guyana on Monday unveiled a painting of the Progress Pride Flag on the driveway of the Canadian High Commission on Young Street, Kingston, Georgetown.
A release from the High Commission on Tuesday stated that the 12 x 19 foot painting was unveiled by High Commissioner Mark Berman along with the Managing Director of EQUAL Guyana, Anil Persaud and EQUAL Guyana members, Raiza Khan and Scott Singh.
