Anti-This Anti-That

This is what happened on Sunday the 10th of March in the Cap-De-Ville Point Fortin area. There were two marches on the main road through the area.

Commencing at Chatam, members and supporters of the “Good Health & Fitness Center” march/walk to their facility in Point Fortin opposite the Catholic Church. During the walk they gave out pamphlets pens and rulers bearing the logo “Crime Stoppers…It Is Safe and It Works”. They reached their gym at about 9:30 in the am.



This day another march was also scheduled to start; this march was an anti-drug march. The start time of this march was 9am at the “Catholic Church Car park” (not that this is the churches car park but because of its proximity to this paved space).

This Ant-Drug was powered by members of the Cap-De-Ville Seventh-Day Adventist Church. Before the got on their way they the marchers who were wearing matching red jerseys were addressed by the Member of Parliament for Point Fortin Hon. Paula Gopee-Scoon (Minister of Foreign Affairs) and the First Elder of the Cap-De-Ville Seventh-Day Adventist Church Curtis Christopher.


This march did not start till about 10:20am in the rain.

After walking for about 10 minutes the rain stopped.




They arrived at their destination the Sherwin Julien Recreation Ground about an hour after they left Point Fortin.

Here they were addressed by different speakers including the Councilor for the area Sean Barrat.

Then the festivities began. Food, drinks, plants and books were on sale and weight lifting was demonstrated by instructors from the Good Health & Fitness Center. Later on that evening there was an aerobic endurance competition.
