Junior King and Queen Toronto Carnival 2017

Hi All,

Today I went to check out this new event held at Woodbine Center. It was really good. I didn't think I would like it being inside, but it came off really well. Also, there were far fewer cranky children because they weren't standing around in the sun for hours.
If this means that judging will also go faster on parade day as the individuals, kings and queens have already been judged, then that can only be a bonus. Our new operations manager is making some very promising changes and I wish him all the luck.

These are the results

Awards were presented to:
Junior King: First place: Evan Murphy of Venom Carnival for ‘Centipede Bite’. Second place: Amari Balroop of Louis Saldenah Mas-K Club for ‘Our Heritage’. Third place: Shaleel Griffith-Ross of Toronto Revellers for ‘The Ultimate Steel Orchestra’.

Junior Queen: First place: Caneisha Edwards of Tribal Carnival for ‘Beijia-flor, The Samba Queen’. Second place: Jahzara Brown-Francis of Toronto Revellers for ‘Bassez Down in Guadeloupe.’ Third place: Kaia Cassells of Carnival Nationz for ‘Magic within Niagara Falls.’
