Flow joins the KSAC in Rejuvenation of Downtown in 100 year anniversary

The historic Ward Theatre and the St William Grant Park in Downtown benefited from a facelift on Labour Day, Wednesday, May 23 with the support of Flow. In the spirit of the theme of Labour Day 2012, ‘Step Forward, Make Jamaica Beautiful’ the broadband service provider did just that in its partnership with the Kingston and St. Andrew Corporation. A team of Flow employees joined other volunteers from the community to carry out maintenance and beautification of sites around the town.

Town Clerk Errol Green welcomed the participation of the Flow team. “These national projects reflect the pride we take in our communities and the love and respect that Jamaican do indeed have for one another. We are happy to have Flow’s support, and that Jamaicans participated in the many Labour Day efforts across the island.”

“Ward Theatre and St. William Grant Park are landmarks of Downtown Kingston and we thought it important that our Labour Day activities in the year of the 50th anniversary of our independence should include this area,” said Denise Williams, director of corporate and government affairs for Columbus Communications Jamaica Ltd., operators of the Flow brand.

  “We believe in the power of community partnerships and are proud to be a part of the activities in preparation for the very special celebrations.  We are firmly committed to being a part of the national mission of celebrating Jamaica’s tremendous achievements for the past 50 years. The Labour Day projects this year gave us the perfect opportunity to partner with the citizens as they prepare their communities for the Jamaica 50 celebrations that will take place here,” she added.

Labour Day 2012 is another in the series of national events that Flow is supporting as part of its overall programme of activities for Jamaica 50. Flow employees joined citizens, the fire brigade, service clubs and NGOs in various projects in five jurisdictions across the island. The Kingston and St Andrew Corporation (KSAC), May Pen, Mandeville, Montego Bay and St Ann’s Bay were the beneficiaries of Flow’s assistance.
