Monday April 14th, 2008 - Toronto, ON, Canada - Fourteen beauties were sashed on Saturday at De Great Iron Pot Restaurant and Banquet Hall for the 2nd annual 'Miss Queen of the Islands' pageant, which will be hosted by NBA star Jamaal Magloire on July 5th.
According to event co-ordinator Roxane Austin, the new 2008 hopefuls are a better representation of the islands compared to those from the inaugural year. “Last year’s pageant was dominated by Trinidadian delegates (8), but this year no one particular island permeates over the others.” The 2008 contestants will represent several Caribbean nations, including Dominca, Grenada, Jamaica, Barbados, Guyana, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Guadeloupe and Trinidad and Tobago.
The next appearance for the Miss Queen of the Islands contestants will be at the Toronto Revellers Official CARIBANA Band Launch for 2008. The 2007 CARIBANA band of the year champions launch event takes place on Saturday May 10th at the Armenian Community Centre located at 45 Hallcrown Place (Victoria Park Ave and 401).
The crowning of 'Miss Queen of the Islands' takes place on Saturday July 5th at the Rembrandt Banquet Hall located at 930 Progress Avenue in Scarborough.
Corporate sponsors of the event include Butterfly Florist, Tourcan Vacations, Toronto-Lime.com and Palm Beach Hotel Group.
