Errol Achue - Mas Band Leader

Being Trinidadian, I have been involved with Trinidad Carnival at an early age and have played Mas with many of the prominent Bands. This gave me an opportunity to help in producing costumes for the annual Carnival celebration.

In 1969 my wife Betty and I migrated to Canada and were instrumental in formation of ‘Tringo Club’ which was specifically a sports club catering to other West Indians residing in Toronto.

In 1989 as the President of the club we decided to produce a Band for the annual Caribana parade which enabled us to promote our Trinidad culture in Canada.

After being President for 18 years, I resigned from Tringo Club , and registered “ Mas Toronto” a Non Profit Association in Toronto specifically to produce a Band for Caribana.

Being a Band Leader in Toronto for the last 19 years has been extremely fulfilling considering ‘Mas Toronto’ is now being recognized as one of the top bands having placed no lower than fifth in the last 11 years.

My daughter Alicia who has been “Mas Toronto’s” Queen for the many years will soon being taking over the leadership of the organization.
