PRIME MINISTER OF CANADA
I am pleased to convey my warmest greetings to everyone attending the 11th annual Barbados Ball. Established in 2003, Barbados Ball Canada Aid has provided assistance to charities while celebrating the achievements, history, and culture of Barbadian Canadians. Tonight’s event, with the theme “Memories of Yesteryear,” offers a wonderful chance to reconnect with members of the Barbadian community and to raise funds in support of three worthy causes: the John Rollock Memorial Scholarships Program, the SickKids‐Caribbean Initiative, and the Barbados Olympic Association. The Barbados Ball Award will also be presented to an individual who has demonstrated professional excellence and community service. I would like to congratulate this year’s award recipient on receiving this special honour. Please accept my best wishes for a memorable evening and for every success in achieving your fundraising goal. OTTAWA 2014

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
FREUNDEL J. STUART,
Q.C., M.P.
PRIME MINISTER OF BARBADOS
Fellow Barbadians, Canadians and Friends
On behalf of the Government and people of Barbados it gives me tremendous pleasure to convey
best wishes to the organizers, sponsors, supporters, beneficiaries and friends of Barbados Ball
Canada Aid, on the occasion of your 11th Annual Barbados Ball.
Having attended myself, I know that this Ball is one of the highlights on the social calendar of Toronto
and beyond. It brings together hundreds of like-minded people - relatives, friends, neighbours and
colleagues - from Barbados, the Caribbean, and beyond, to enjoy themselves in an atmosphere of
tolerance and mutual respect. For many, this event brings back fond memories of yesteryear as they
gather to reminisce, to share experiences and to commit resources to “good causes”.
This event also offers a sample of the Barbadian way of life that includes music and dance, culinary
delights, wholesome entertainment and Barbadian traditions. I am convinced that we should build
on this foundation by promoting Barbadian cultural goods and services more vigorously in Canada
in order to develop our cultural industries.
I sincerely thank Barbados Ball Canada Aid for your support to worthy causes. The proceeds of
this year’s Ball have been earmarked for donations to the John Rollock Memorial Scholarships
Programme, the SickKids-Caribbean Initiative, the Barbados Olympic Association, and generally to
help the most vulnerable members of communities in Barbados and its Diaspora in Canada.
This Ball offers the opportunity to promote the pursuit of excellence among Barbadians in Canada.
I therefore heartily congratulate this year’s Award Winner, Dr. Paul Steinbok, a Barbadian migrant,
for his brilliant achievements in Pediatric Neurosurgery. Professor Steinbok is an outstanding role
model, not only for crossing new frontiers in his chosen discipline, but also for giving back much of
his expertise to communities in Barbados, Jamaica, Canada, the USA and further afield.
In conclusion, I wish to thank each and every one of you for striving to create a better world. Here in
Barbados we will continue to preserve the best that Barbados has to offer, for future generations, so
that when you come back, or visit for the first time, you will find it one of the best places to spend
your holidays, to invest and work, or to live.
Thank you.

STEVE
KIRTON
PRESIDENT,
BARBADOS BALL CANADA AID
A very warm welcome to all patrons of our 11th Annual Barbados Ball!
On behalf of Barbados Ball Canada Aid, thank you all for your support over the past year. Last year
you attended the Ball in large numbers, sponsorship support was outstanding and funds raised from
the silent and live auctions exceeded previous years’. Overall last year’s Ball was a great success and
we are most appreciative of your on-going support.
Your generosity allowed us to do even more in supporting our charitable causes of education and
healthcare. The John Rollock Memorial Scholarships Program reached new heights, with the number
of scholarships granted increasing from 5 to 10 and a total of $30,000 being granted to help these
deserving students achieve their dreams. In addition, we donated another $15,000 to the SickKidsCaribbean Initiative in keeping with our commitment to this project, which is aimed at improving the
survival rate of childhood cancer and blood disorder victims in the Caribbean.
Also, in 2013 we took a major step in expanding the Barbados Ball family with the establishment of
the Barbados Canada Foundation. The Barbados Canada Foundation is a Canadian registered charity
that will manage the John Rollock Memorial Scholarships Program going forward. The Foundation
also supports healthcare initiatives and other humanitarian causes.
This brings me now to tonight’s celebrations held under the theme “Memories of Yesteryear”. Tonight,
we attempt to recreate a time from the not too distant bajan past. Through song and images we will
give a glimpse of old Barbados. For those of us who have grown up on the island, these images
will no doubt evoke many memories and maybe even a touch of homesickness. For those lovers of
Barbados who visit the island often and even those of you who have never visited, we hope they will
provide a sense of the rich and colourful culture of our island known as “Little England”. After all,
you can go trekking in the Scotland district, watch cricket at Kensington and visit Trafalgar while still
in Bridgetown.
International Barbadian Chef Paul Yellin has put together an impressive menu and is working hard in
the kitchen with Pearson’s Chef Emilio to serve you a dinner with Bajan flare, that should bring back
memories of “home”. I hope that you will enjoy tonight’s culinary experience.
Proceeds from tonight’s fundraising efforts will be used to continue our support of youth education and
healthcare initiatives. In addition, we have earmarked proceeds for both the Paralympic Association
of Barbados and Barbados Olympic Association to help these organizations as they strive to promote
regular exercise and activity as a way of healthy living for people of all levels of ability.
Finally, ‘thank you’ to our sponsors – Scotiabank, Diproinduca (Barbados) Ltd, RBC Royalbank and
G98.7FM -,donors, Team Barbados, our Board of Directors, Advisory Council, members and volunteers
for your unfailing support of Barbados Ball Canada Aid, and the annual Barbados Ball. It is because
of your support that we are able to make much valued charitable contributions to our communities
both in Canada and Barbados.
Please enjoy the evening and may you have only pleasant memories of tonight to take away with you.
Steve Kirton

SHEREEN “RED”
SHERIFF
TONIGHT’S HOST
FROM G98.7
After 10 years of being on Toronto radio
airwaves, Red moved to Vancouver where
she worked at the New SONiC FM. The West
coast turned out to be a positive and growing
opportunity for Red however it wasn’t home
and she returned to Toronto and to the
Midday Host seat at G98.7FM.
Red’s dedication to her community is fuelled
by her enthusiasm, numerous talents, energy
and positive attitude towards life. When not
“working” you can probably find Red jet
setting to her native land Barbados and even
then it’s work as she is known for hosting the
annual Cropover festival in Barbados with
the Barbados Tourism Authority of Canada.
One of the hottest ladies in Canada’s
entertainment industry, Red remains
dedicated to her family, friends and
community in spite of her hectic schedule.
She is a great example and mentor to many
young women in the country. Toronto’s fiery
female radio host can be heard every Midday
from 10am-2pm at G98.7FM.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Red has been directly involved in the
entertainment business for over 13 years
and is everything she sounds like. Her
voice has been heard locally and regionally
throughout Canada as well as over the web
on radio online programming. Her style also
lends itself nicely to on-air advertisement
announcements, commercial voice-over,
and video viewers.
With her energetic,
enjoyable personality and sensual tone,
Red touches on entertainment headlines
and appealing yet amusing topics which
everyone can easily relate to.

BIGGIE IRIE Born in the United Kingdom, Biggie Irie moved with his mother to Barbados at the
age of three. He is best known for his molasses rich voice, and his powerful commandeering stage
presence. He started his musical career in 1986 as lead vocalist with the young Barbadian reggae
band EXODUS. Since then he has performed and recorded with THE SPLASHBAND, the only other
group on the Island, besides Exodus, who dedicated their repertoire solely to reggae music.
He toured extensively with THE SPLASHBAND traveling to Sweden, London, Toronto and New York.
He also performed at REGGAE SUNSPLASH in Jamaica, where he appeared on stage with such
internationally renowned artist such as Maxi Priest, Beres Hammond, Garnet Silk, and Byron Lee &
The Dragonnaires.
The CD,”AN INTRODUCTION TO BIGGIE IRIE “was released in the USA in August 1999. This album
marked his debut as a solo artist in the world of reggae music. The much-anticipated album “Where
Is the Love” was released at the annual Congaline Music Festival in Barbados in April 2003.
BIGGIE IRIE is one of Barbados’ most celebrated artists and is now a household name throughout
the Caribbean and the US because of his hit song “Nah Goin’ Home”, released in the summer of
2006. In February 2007 Biggie won the “International Groovy Soca Monarch” Competition in Trinidad
and Tobago with his hit song, and created history as the first non-Trinidadian Artist to ever win any
competition in Trinidad.
Biggie continues to perform at major concerts, festivals and shows throughout the USA, UK and the
Caribbean.
MARISA LINDSAY Vocalist and songwriter, Marisa Lindsay is a proud Barbadian born and raised. No
stranger to the stage Marisa has toured the world as a representative of Barbados and has shared
the stage with many international acts such as Air Supply, Brian Mc Knight, and Peabo Bryson, Macy
Gray and Baby Face.
Convinced of the enormous potential of her talent, Thunder Dome Sounds CEO and Juno Award
winning Producer, Eddie Bullen, took on the task of personally investing in the recording and the
artistic development of Marisa in 2006.
In 2007 “Submit 2 Love”, Marisa’s debut album, presented her to the world as a major talent coming
out of Barbados bridging the gap between Standard, Contemporary and Smooth Jazz.
In 2009 the pair followed up with “Deeper Love, which marked her foray into R& B/Neo Soul, a
departure from the jazz cover tunes that were predominant on her first album.
Thunderdome Sounds is now set to release the first single from Marisa’s new album “Whatchugondo?”
in the summer of 2014. As a passionate educator for the past 6 years, Marisa’s goal is to prepare the
natural talent in Barbados to take international stages by storm.
ARTURO TAPPIN Arturo is definitely the smoothest, saxiest horn man the Caribbean has to offer. His
dynamic and spirited live performances have won him fans the world over. He made headway with
his debut recording “Strictly Roots Jazz” and then immediately followed up with a stellar performance
on his second album entitled, “Java”, both licensed by Pioneer Records in Japan. For his cultural
contributions to Jamaica and the Caribbean on the whole, Arturo recently received a nationally
acclaimed Award of Excellence in the Arts from former Jamaican Prime Minister PJ Patterson.
Tappin has dazzled audiences at the Soho Jazz Festival, the Bob Marley Birthday Bash and Reggae
Sunsplash, as well as headlining Jazz Festivals throughout the Caribbean. He has performed with the
legendary Roberta Flack, Hard Bop Trumpeter Red Rodney, Grammy Award winning drummer Roy
Haynes, Reggae Super Star Maxi Priest, R & B chart topper Anita Baker, South African Jazz Legend
Hugh Masekela, and other luminaries of the music industry. Besides touring Arturo has served as
the Musical Director for Eddy Grant as well as recorded with Grammy recipients Ralph MacDonald,
and the late great Luther Vandross.
Arturo has had the privilege of playing for two American Presidents; President Bill Clinton and
President Barack Obama. He has also performed for Cuba’s President Fidel Castro, Chilean President
Michelle Bachelet and most recently at the 2011 Duke of Edinburgh Black Tie Dinner.
When asked what his future plans are in music he simply responded “Listen, practice, play, record.”

BBCA: HELPING TO IMPROVE
THE LIVES OF OTHERS
Barbados Ball Canada Aid is the product of
the desire of the Barbadian community in
Toronto to have an organization through
which the community could support its
youth and those is need both in Canada
and Barbados, in a very substantial way.
Over the last eleven years we were able
to grant $105,000 in scholarships, donate
$12,000 to support healthcare initiatives
and $12,000 to assist Barbadians in need,
largely with funds raised by the annual
Barbados Ball.
We are presently committed to a donation
of $50,000 to the SickKids-Caribbean
Initiative, $35,000 of which has been
disbursed to date and $15,000 to the
Barbados Olympic/Paralympic Associations
over 2 years; in addition to assisting youth
through scholarship grants.
We are also pleased to report that in
August last year; we were successful
in establishing The Barbados Canada
Foundation as a registered charity. The
Foundation will manage the John Rollock
Memorial Scholarships Program and
support healthcare and other charitable
causes. It is closely associated with
Barbados Ball Canada Aid (BBCA), from
which it will receive financial support. As
the Foundation will be able to access
tax-deductible charitable donations, we
look forward to significant growth in our
scholarship grants and contributions to
healthcare.
BBCA and the Foundation exist to “help
improve the lives of others”, a purpose we
can maintain with your continued support.

PAST JOHN ROLLOCK
AWARD RECPIENT
My name is Shanice Yarde and I am a past
recipient of the John Rollock Memorial
Scholarship. I will be graduating from Concordia
University in Montreal in June. I studied Human
Relations and Psychology which seems natural
since it is my passion to help and interact with
people. With the financial support received
from the John Rollock Memorial Scholarship I
was able to focus on school while also working
part-time and volunteering when I could.
I currently work for an organization called
Youth Fusion which was created to reduce the
high drop-out rate for high school students
by creating partnerships between universities
and high schools to engage the youth. I run a
cooking program and math tutoring program
at two Montreal high schools. I also recently
started working at Head & Hands again where
I will be assisting in the development and
facilitation of the sex education program the
organization offers.
I am also the founding member of a non-profit
organization called the Black Foundation of
Community Networks (BFCN) based in Vaughan,
Ontario. We have several initiatives including
our weekly Friday Focus program which focuses
on math literacy and Black history for young
Black youth as well as parent engagement.
In addition, we offer annual scholarships and
created the BFCN Scholarship Directory to
support youth in their pursuit of post-secondary
education.
I am so very grateful for the financial support
received from BBCA through the John Rollock
Memorial Scholarship. Scholarship grants such
as these help students such as me achieve our
aspirations and I commend BBCA for the work it
is doing in helping to create opportunity within
the Black community.

Polo In Paradise competition gets going at UWI Astroturf
BARBADIANS MAY still be trying to become
familiar with the sport of Segway polo but they
got a golden opportunity to see some world-class
players in action yesterday.
The Barbados Cup 2014 “Segway Polo In Paradise”
rolled off on May Day at the Astroturf of the Cave Hill
Campus of the University of the West Indies with six
teams comprising players from Germany, Sweden and
Barbados battling it out for world supremacy.
Previously, the competition was split into a
battle between teams from the United States,
Germany, Sweden and Barbados. However,
this year the organisers decided to distribute
the players into six equal teams.
Those teams carry a Barbadian
influence which whets one’s culinary
appetites as well as sporting
desires with such names as
Pickled Pork, Pepper Sauce,
Coconut Bread, Rum Cake,
Sea Cat and Salt Fish.
Pickled Pork got the action
smoking from early with
a 3-1 demolition of Pepper
Sauce with German
Lutz Dombdrea
scoring a hat-trick.
