A Note from the Acting President / General Manager Operations:

Hamilton Carnival

After loosing our founder Kenneth Ling in 2007 to cancer and the devastating weather condition in 2008, the popular Hamilton carnival is back with a better and greater focus on our Multi-cultural festival.

This new beginning has given us greater awareness of the other cultures that live among us; we feel that it is necessary to strongly embrace the diversity, which come as a result of living in a multi-ethnic community.
