"PRIDE AND INDUSTRY"
He was surprised to find that his countrymen in this city had not yet established a formal and thriving association as their counterparts had done in other major Canadian centres. The Association has grown increasingly active in the community service over the years. It has become extremely active to offer assistance to other ethic organizations in Manitoba and has maintained very friendly relations especially with Caribbean groups in Winnipeg.
I am Gregory Gaskin, president of the Barbados Association of Winnipeg (BAW). On behalf of the member organizations, individual members, and executives of the BAW thank you for visiting our website.
The BAW is dedicated to supporting the Barbadian and Caribbean communities both in Barbados and Canada. A non-profit organization, the BAW provides assistance to Barbadians and Barbadian – Canadians.
Bajan Night, our signature fundraising event has been held each year since 1979. Bajan night is held on the 3rd Saturday in June, at which guests enjoy a fabulous Bajan dinner, live entertainment, a sampling of the Barbadian cuisine, dancing, and of course, good Bajan company. I invite you to join us at this annual gathering of Bajans, Canadians, and all who love Barbados.
Thank you to our sponsors, donors, and volunteers!
Sincerely,
Gregory Gaskin
