In December, the Corporation hosted the graduation ceremony for participants who successfully completed the 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐂𝐀𝐃 and 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐲 courses.

These programmes were made possible through the collaboration between the Local Economic Development Chaguanas Borough Unit of the Chaguanas Borough Corporation and YTEPP. 

Councillor Brenda John - Enterprise South/Longdenville North’s Anti-Bullying Walk in December was seen as an overwhelming success! It was noted that this walk was about love, kindness, unity and empathy in the community. Please read more on the Corporation's Facebook page. 

In observance of 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐀𝐈𝐃𝐒 𝐃𝐚𝐲 on December 1st, the Chaguanas Borough Corporation’s Public Health Unit, led by Dr. Sharon Lakhan, partnered with The HIV Advocacy Unit, Ministry of Labor, to host an insightful and interactive lecture which focused on fostering understanding, cultivating empathy and building a more inclusive workplace for all. 

According to the Mayo Clinic, "Cerebral palsy is a group of conditions that affect movement and posture. It's caused by damage that occurs to the developing brain, most often before birth. Symptoms appear during infancy or preschool years and vary from very mild to serious. Children with cerebral palsy may have exaggerated reflexes." 

​

The Chaguanas Borough Corporation joined with the Cerebral Palsy Society of Trinidad and Tobago, to spread awareness and support for an important cause, with the hallmark focus on "Together, we can make a difference!"
