A Ministry of Carnival?

FOR THEIR ambitious vision, K2K Alliance and Partners were justly rewarded with the Band of the Year title. Such was the undeniable power of their art that it mattered not that Through Stained Glass Windows was a medium band. Theirs was a mas that reminded us of the glorious potential of our Carnival arts.

Yesterday’s call by National Carnival Commission (NCC) chairman Winston “Gypsy” Peters for the setting up of a dedicated Cabinet ministry for Carnival can be seen as yet another in a long line of proposals made over the years to promote and improve Carnival.

He argued that a Ministry of Carnival would have dedicated funding and administration “that would take Carnival where we want it.”
