Today marks the beginning of three days of activities in remembrance of former Port of Spain South MP Marlene McDonald.
McDonald died last Friday after ailing for some time, and while funeral arrangements are still being finalised, her former constituents will have three days of activities in her memory.
A condolence book will be opened for signing at the MP’s office in Port-of-Spain from today and tomorrow there will be a lighting up of one dedicated street from each electoral district in Port-of-Spain South as a show of unity and recognition of McDonald’s work in the constituency.
On Wednesday there will be a memorial service at the Port-of-Spain City Hall from 7 pm.
McDonald served as an MP and government minister from 2007 to 2019 in the administrations of Patrick Manning and Dr Keith Rowley.
