WATCH: Local Government Ministry launches Cross Island Run 2024
ST MARY, Jamaica – The Ministry of Local Government and Community Development recently launched its annual Cross Island Run.
The run, coordinated by the Social Development Commission (SDC), is a precursor to the celebration of Local Government Month, observed annually during November by the ministry and its affiliated agencies and departments.
During a ceremony at the Dover Community Centre in St Mary, Mayor of Port Maria, Councillor Fitzroy Wilson noted that the event provides a platform to showcase the work of the municipalities.
“The run gives us that opportunity to show the public the work we do and for them to have a deeper appreciation of the activities… beyond that it helps us to encourage persons to participate in local government processes,” Wilson said.
