Toronto The Good

Yesterday's Caribana parade, the 40th anniversary of the biggest West Indian carnival in North America, was a smashing success. Big-ups to all the locals and out-of-towners who chipped in to make for a fabulous weekend, which actually began in earnest with events such as the annual competitions for King and Queen, on Thursday night, and Pan Alive, Friday.

With an estimated 25,000 masqueraders and somewhere between a million and 1.5 million coming out to watch yesterday's bacchanal, this year's event will be difficult to top. But you can bet we'll try.
