Pepper Production Training
In October 2024, the Princes Town Regional Corporation LED Unit hosted its very first pepper production training. A full house showed up, proving that agriculture is still a high-demand field in Princes Town! The Corporation extended its thanks to St. Stephens Anglican Church's support and to Mr. Jason Teeluck for sharing his expertise. The Corporation urges all to keep checking in for more such opportunities to support agriculture in the coming months.

Trainer, Mr. Jhavon Felmine, thankfully shared his extensive knowledge with a well-attended class. The St. Stephens Anglican Church also provided the venue free of charge. Also showing his support by his attendance was Councillor Latchmi Narine Ramdhan.
Box Culvert Completed in Duff Trace, Hardbargain.
In Duff Trace, Hardbargain, what might have seemed like a small project, eliminated a major problem for villagers who had to wade through water whenever it rained. This also alleviated the challenge many parents would face when having to assist their children in crossing this area to attend school. The project's completion presented a significant relief for the appreciative villagers. The success of this project would not have been possible without the efforts of the the Acting Road Officer, Mr. Shiva Narinesingh and Road Foreman Mr Ronnie Ramdhan.
