Fifty-five regional groups received more than $7 million in subventions for Carnival.
Arts and Multiculturalism Minister Winston Peters, accompanied by National Carnival Commission (NCC) chairman, Kenny De Silva and other members of the board distributed cheques yesterday at the National Academy for Performing Arts (NAPA), Port-of-Spain.
De Silva noted the subvention increased from $1 million in 2001 to $7 million this year. Peters said the financial support of events outside of Port-of-Spain and other main areas is part of Government’s move to decentralise Carnival.
