The school tours which commenced last week Friday included official visits to fifteen schools (15) within district four. The students were educated and quizzed on the relevance of the Office of the Mayor and the Castries Constituency Council.

“It just might be a first for a Mayor of Castries and I am thankful that the opportunity was given to me. It is my view that what obtained in the past years cannot be accepted as the norm. Hence moving forward, we need to play a greater role in the development of the country and decentralize the functions of and contributions towards the different sectors. We need to elevate, motivate and educate our children as well,” noted Mayor Peterson D. Francis.
