Tassa, iron and melody rang out at Clifton Hill Beach yesterday, as Point Fortin MP Ernesto Kesar launched Point Fortin Borough Fusion, although the Point Fortin Borough Corporation is yet to launch the official Borough Day celebrations.
Despite the Fusion sitting outside the corporation’s annual programme, Kesar said the activity, which mirrors the Flava Village held in Port-of-Spain during the Carnival season, is not intended to compete with official Borough Day activities but to enhance them.
The launch, held at The Pavilion, drew sponsors and stakeholders in a festive setting, though there was a notable absence of Mayor Clyde James and members of the borough council. The absence comes against the backdrop of ongoing concerns about funding for Borough Day celebrations from the Central Government.
