TORONTO REVELLERS SET TO WOW THE CITY

By Stephen Weir for the Caribbean Camera
Make way for the Big Big Man.  This Saturday night band leader, former NBA Star and Toronto Raptors Assistant Coach, Jamaal Magloire is hosting the Toronto Revellers Masquerade Band costume launch.
A 1,000+ crowd is anticipated for the April 7th fete which is themed as Extinction: Love Our Planet. It will be held at the York Mills Gallery on York Mills Road at 9:00 p.m.
Toronto Revellers are using Carnival as a platform to bring awareness of a very serious global crisis– Mass Extinction. 
“It’s not whether plants, animals, reefs have the will to survive, its whether humanity has the will to save them.  By being conscious of our environment, we determine the fate of our planet for future of generations to come,” says Magloire.  “Each costume will portray the beauty of the world that surrounds us!”
Magloire will be joined on stage Saturday with special guest emcees: Kat Stefankiewicz, in-game host for the Toronto Raptors and NBA TV Canada plus Caribbean Cultural Ambassador, Giselle Blanche aka Giselle D’ Wassi One.
The band launch marks the beginning of the carnival season and will feature an elaborate showcase of costumes, live theatrics, live music by Revellers DJ’s, D’Ultimate Sting, DOC and the World’s youngest DJ, Brandon Duke.

The costumes designs that will be displayed on Saturday night will be worn in the Toronto Caribbean Carnival parade on August 4th along Toronto’s Lakeshore Blvd.
Tickets for the Toronto Revellers band launch event are still available at www.ticketgateway.com

. . Sublimnos No Longer Out Of Sight … And Definitely Not Out of Mind By Stephen Weir It will take a long long time for a piece of Canadian dive history to rust into dust. Given the hard feelings surrounding the historic Sublimnos Project, the deteriorating, remains of that underwater habitat could well be an above-water Lake Ontario eyesore for years until rust indeed becomes dust. Back in the summer of 1969 Sublimnos was set down in the waters of Georgian Bay near Tobermory, Ontario the self-described "fresh water scuba diving capital of the world" .It was a bargain basement underwater research station. Constructed from a railroad tanker for just $10,000.00, Sublimnos became Canada’s first subsurface research laboratory. From 1969 to 1971 the Sublimnos project, funded and spearhead by physician, author, explorer and frequent Diver Magazine contributor Dr. Joe McInnis, was headline news around the world. Built to accommodate up to four divers at a time, in its first two-ye...

Celtic ink with 3 waves for the dive world Stripping down in Little Cayman's only food store Little Cayman Island, population 200, attracts only two types of visitors.  Ornithologists. Experienced Scuba Divers. Ornithologists because of the birds. The largest colony of Red Footed Boobies in the Caribbean is found on Little Cayman's Booby Pond. Scuba Divers go there because of the sheer wall of coral found in the island's underwater preserve, just north of the island. My wife and I returned from Little Cayman Island on Sunday.  We weren't there for the birds. Flamingo is the logo for dive haven Bonaire. We spent most of our week on a couple of dive boats. One large scuba boat was operated by Reef Divers out of the Little Cayman Resort.  The other, a small Boston Whaler operated by three divers, was out on the reef hunting the invasive lionfish...
