The National Carnival Commission (NCC) is allocating a mere $750,000 to the San Fernando City Corporation to run Carnival celebrations in the southern city.
While San Fernando Mayor Robert Parris says that $1.5 million to $2 million would have been sufficient to execute their plans, he acknowledges that the allocation took into account the economic situation of T&T, requiring a balanced and creative approach. He was speaking to reporters at Skinner Park yesterday, where he addressed teachers at a rejuvenation workshop ahead of the Ole Mas Competition at South Park Mall next week.
The workshop aimed to teach the younger generation about satire and social commentary as integral aspects of the ole mas art form.
