T&T President opens boardwalk
Trinidad & Tobago's President has visited WLI member Pointe-a-Pierre Wildfowl Trust to re-launch a boardwalk for the differently-abled.
Speaking at the ceremony, Her Excellency Paula-Mae Weekes celebrated the boardwalk as “a symbol of the creative, forward-thinking and compassionate work of the Trust, which, since 2001, has facilitated the enjoyment by the differently-abled of the natural flora and fauna for which this nation is renowned. We must all take pattern from this accomplishment which undoubtedly improves the lives and circumstances of the differently-abled.”

The boardwalk has existed for a number of years, and has been renovated with support from a local bank, financial services provider, and the United Nations Development Programme.
President Weekes has also acted as patron of the Wildfowl Trust, and described it as “a true national treasure - an invaluable repository of environmental knowledge and resources.” She also said it was her firm belief that primary schools should prioritise educational visits to the Trust.
