Co-ordinated by the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Association of Toronto Inc., the event ran under the theme "One People, One Team, One Goal", a theme that Justice [Adrian Saunders] feels the Caribbean Court of Justice embodies. "Notwithstanding the multiplicity of flags and anthems in the region we are still one people. All of us, Caribbean people belong to one civilisation, it is essential that we in the Caribbean have ours (final court)," he said.
