Once again we will be bringing our all-day family oriented event to Petrie Island on Sunday, July 28, 2013.

October- Breast Cancer Awareness Month

We are half way through the month and as an association that supports the Ottawa Hospital Foundation specifically in the area of cancer research we would like to remind you that this is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. So let us take a moment to visit some of the linked sites for more information on this disease and the recent advancement in treatments.

It affects us all!

Thank You - From Us to You

The Club S.O.C.C.A Board would like to thank all those who supported us this year with the costumed  masquerade band presentation " Mas is Mas", from conception to completion. We would like to thank our partners both in Toronto and Montreal for their support as well as our generous sponsors.

We will be looking forward to hitting the road to Montreal for Carifesta on July 9th, 2011 and participating with High Rollers Production (view costumes on our site- SOCCA Store). So if you haven't got your costume for the next in the series of Canadian-Caribbean  Carnival style parades please do not hesitate in contacting us for further details.

Next stop Montreal......!

2011 Theme for Carivibe Parade

Previous Carnival Celebration in Ottawa

2011 theme "Mas is Mas". Choosing such a broad theme was done so that we can be inclusive of all and not restricting anyone to the vision of the design. We have found that although people may have heard of Carnival they are not necessarily sure how are if they can participate. So as our mandate states we are here to help in the education and promotion of a strong Caribbean cultural heritage with a twist, called Carnival.

As the Caribbean Diaspora community living in one of the most multicultural countries in the world we have recognized that  the opportunity to be a part of the true essence of Carnival is to facilitate individuals or groups the ability to a dynamic way of self-expression by facilitating the wearing of traditional pieces that are representative of their cultural heritage or form of Carnival. 

Therefore we are asking members of the Ottawa community that celebrate Carnival/Carnavale/Fiesta/Karneval or whatever you may call it, as a part of their cultural heritage to join us on June 18, 2011 in a show of community spirit and celebration of our similarities.
