Coast GRC and Pioneer Constituency, the annual hallmark GRC
Family Day aimed to encourage and reinforce family cohesiveness
within a light-hearted interactive setting, as well as encourage
young parents to form communities of support as they embark on
their parenthood journey.
   That evening, more than 60 role-play activities were lined up
for children to participate as they enrolled in various occupations
under realistic environments, for instance, learning to bake as a
pizza chef at a pizzeria, respond to emergencies as a firefighter
or paramedic, or earn their minute of fame on camera as a news
broadcaster. Through family and light-hearted learning oriented
activities like these, the organiser hoped that the children would
walk away with a stronger lifelong passion for learning that
would also inspire them to embrace responsibility, creativity and
independence through play.

                     canal between AYE and West Coast Road is
                     an initiative under the Active, Beautiful, Clean
                     Waters (ABC Waters) Programme to transform
                     drains, canals and waterways in Singapore into

                     national water agency PUB had initially wanted
                     to just deepen the canal after flash floods in

                     temporarily. But after discussions, Mr Iswaran
                     said, “we decided to make it into an active,
                     beautiful and clean water project. So now we
                     have a lot of facilities here, it is a very beautiful

                   8,000 people on 3 August 2019 with one common objective:
               to celebrate Singapore’s National Day. The festivities started off
               with the National Day Observance Ceremony, with a parade of
               uniformed groups and a percussion band from Commonwealth
               Secondary School. There was the flag flypast, carried by drones,
               during the flag raising ceremony and singing of the National
               Anthem.
                  It was the third year in a row since its inaugural year in 2017
    that Ayer Rajah’s National Day Street Party was held at Pandan Gardens, in
    front of Ayer Rajah Community Club. The road was lined with carnival rides
    and inflatables, complete with roving entertainers and Marvel super-hero
    characters and non-stop stage performances. The finale was a crescendo
    with spectacular fireworks, accompanied by LED-lit kites, lighting up the
    night sky.
