The Inshan Ali Promenade in Couva became a vibrant hub of seasonal joy on December 19th as the Couva Police Station Community Council (CPSCC) hosted its Christmas on the Promenade celebration. This heartwarming event successfully united approximately 300 residents from Couva and surrounding neighborhoods for an evening dedicated to festive harmony, cultural performances, and community bonding.
Embracing the council’s foundational theme of ‘one district, one family,’ the festivities featured an array of engaging activities. Approximately 130 children experienced the magic of Christmas firsthand, receiving personalized gifts that sparked widespread delight. The program showcased inspirational addresses from police leadership, including Council Chairman Inspector Khan of the Couva Police Station.
Cultural enrichment formed the cornerstone of the evening with captivating performances by Levantamientos Parang Group, the Couva Anglican Primary School Steel Orchestra, and the Dow Village Dance Group. Young talents including Ella Isaac, Siarah Mohammed, and Brandon Khan delivered memorable musical presentations, while DJ Zion Child provided rhythmic entertainment. The event was skillfully hosted by CPSCC President Bishop Ezekiel Clarke, who also debuted his original community anthem titled ‘Peace and Love.’
This successful initiative originated from Bishop Clarke’s visionary leadership and was executed by the council’s event planning committee under Vice President Miguel Charles. The celebration represented a significant expansion of the CPSCC’s ongoing outreach programs throughout the central region.
The council extended profound gratitude to its sponsors and community partners whose support was instrumental to the event’s success, including R&R Trading, Couva Glass, Kayvanic Logistics, NB Environmental Services, and the Couva/Tabaquite/Talparo Regional Corporation.
