Plan­ning for To­ba­go Car­ni­val 2022 con­tin­ues apace, as of­fi­cials from the Na­tion­al Car­ni­val Com­mis­sion (NCC) met with sev­er­al mem­bers of the Au­gus­tine Ad­min­is­tra­tion in the To­ba­go House of As­sem­bly (THA).

Ac­cord­ing to a re­lease from the NCC, the meet­ing was con­vened, “to dis­cuss some of the THA’s sought-af­ter ob­jec­tives, and to of­fer sup­port, if nec­es­sary, in host­ing the event sched­uled for Oc­to­ber 28-30.”

“This year’s fes­ti­val is ex­pect­ed to keep the mo­men­tum go­ing, fol­low­ing the suc­cess­es of A Taste of Car­ni­val 2022, as plans con­tin­ue for the shape and scope of Trinidad and To­ba­go Car­ni­val 2023,” the NCC said.

The Com­mis­sion not­ed that the meet­ing was re­gard­ed as pro­duc­tive, ex­treme­ly cor­dial, and en­cour­ag­ing in fur­ther­ing the re­la­tions be­tween the NCC and THA, par­tic­u­lar­ly on mat­ters of Car­ni­val, Cul­ture, and To­ba­go.

Rep­re­sent­ing the THA at the meet­ing were: Chief Sec­re­tary and Sec­re­tary of the Di­vi­sion of Fi­nance, Trade and In­dus­try, Far­ley Au­gus­tine; Sec­re­tary of the Di­vi­sion of Tourism, Cul­ture, An­tiq­ui­ties and Trans­porta­tion, Tashia Grace Bur­ris; and As­sis­tant Sec­re­tary of the Di­vi­sion of Tourism, Cul­ture, An­tiq­ui­ties and Trans­porta­tion, Megan Mor­ri­son.
