Every summer Toronto plays host to revellers and spectators, visitors and locals, for one of the biggest events of the season: the Toronto Caribbean Carnival (TCC).

  • Under the theme of “Diversity and Culture Live Here,” the Festival Management Committee that oversees carnival events is encouraging everyone to join in the fun.

Carnivals and protest

    • In the post George Floyd era, it is even more important that these issues are acknowledged and tackled head on.
    • Perhaps, too, that phrasing on the website could mean an openness to embracing social critique and protest, which are hallmarks of Caribbean carnivals in other locations, such as in Trinidad and Tobago.
    • Carnival celebrations born out of resistance to, and which mark emancipation from, chattel slavery have long been part of the cultural experience of Caribbean peoples.

Raising awareness

    • This is only the second year, too, that the TCC’s main events overlap with Emancipation Day.
    • Emancipation Day, observed on August 1, was made official in Canada in March 2021 in the wake of the BLM protests.
    • TCC dates also coincide with Simcoe Day, which is observed in remembrance of the 1793 anti-slavery act.
    • Organizers could program events that promote greater awareness about the history of Caribbean carnivals.

Helping Black businesses

    • But while various businesses in the city — hotels, restaurants, entertainment venues, cultural attractions and landmarks — benefit financially, that has not been the case for many Black businesses, especially small ones.
    • It’s Blackness on display — and only when such display is profitable — with little to none of this profit going to Black communities.
    • For example, the Festival Management Committee’s Building Black Entrepreneurs Program which has received funding from the federal government’s Black Entrepreneurship Program.
