This awareness campaign intends to promote a collective approach by including the residents of Ward 76 to add their voice and input into safeguarding our facilities,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe will aim to do more of these community jogs throughout Lentegeur where the heart of sports resides within our ward. Our main aim is to promote, include and advocate for proper well maintained training facilities with an important focus on reaching the youth and make Lentegeur the illustrious sports hub it is known for. A hub of hope, a hub where the future sporting heroes will emerge from.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Future initiatives will be communicated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Locals and
