 The good people of Ansleray Canaries, it is that time of the year again to celebrate our progress and cherish our opportunities in the last 12 months. It is a year, indeed, to remember. During that time, we attained major milestones like the commencement of the Roso Tavana Road Rehabitation Project. I remain most grateful for your patience as the work progresses. We reflect also on the tremendous success of revamping the Ansleray Fishery and Economic Impetus for many fishermen, vendors and local businesses. While we have commenced 25 small infrastructure projects under the Constituency Development Program, we expect to see their full completion by January 2018. Works on the Canaries playing field and the court facility are also expected to commence in January in an effort to build on the strong sporting prowess of our people. These are just a few of the many developments that will take shape in the new year. But for now, we celebrate the beauty of our children and extol them with love and adoration during our Christmas events across the Constituency, and say thanks to our elderly by the construction of at least four housing projects. We must remember those who have built our country and our communities, those that have laid the foundation for our generation. Let their sacrifices, courage and perseverance not go in vain as we chart our own course into the future. Let us also remember the sick and the other vulnerable groups as we observe the holidays. A big thank you to all of you for your support, kindness, love and passion for the community during the last year. And I look forward to working even closer with you towards the total transformation of Ansleray Canaries. A merry Christmas and a prosperous 2018. To all of you, God bless you.
