Quebec Goa Association - QGA - Canada Day Parade - 1st July, 2010
The Quebec Goan Association, took part in the July 1st Canada Day colourful parade in Montreal for the first time in its history. The float which was themed "To Keep Our Goan Heritage Alive"was colourfully decorated with ladies dancing to Konkani music, and was cheered on by a large crowd gathered along St.Catherine Street, in Montreal.
The parade terminated at Philips Square in downtown Montreal and was followed by a concert by performers in different languages and different ethnic groups. Goa was well represented with Jacinta Luis opening the show with a Konkani folk song, Aum Saiba Poltodi Vetam. There were other songs in Konkani, English, French and a Portuguese dance, again by the Members of the Quebec Goan Association.
Thank you.
Kind Regards,
Mary Silveira
Q.G.A. President
