PHILIPSBURG–St. Maarten Carnival Development Foundation (SCDF) and Scotiabank are together again, continuing a partnership that has spanned more than two decades. Scotiabank is once again one of SCDF’s most prominent corporate partners for Carnival 2018 and, according to SCDF President Alston Lourens, the foundation could not be happier that it can still count on the bank despite challenging circumstances.

The bank is again the main partner for the Carnival schedule of events which is now available and being distributed on-island. The bank also covered the cost of uniform shirts for SCDF board members and its volunteer committee members.

Scotiabank Marketing Manager Selma Baker said, “Scotiabank welcomes the opportunity to renew our commitment to St. Maarten’s Carnival. We know many persons here on the island and overseas are eagerly looking forward to this year’s celebration.

“On behalf of Scotiabank I would like to thank the Foundation for its efforts and at the same time wish the community and visitors a happy and safe Carnival. Let the event this year be a true celebration of life and culture.”

Lourens said on Monday, “It is good to know that despite the devastation by the hurricanes, we can still count on the support of Scotiabank. This year we will all celebrate life and we are happy that Scotia is here with us. Next year is our 50th and we look forward to doing something special with the bank.”
