1. Executive Summary
The Toronto Sun's participation in the upcoming Caribana parade helps to connect
with the community. Larrisa Presso (Director of Promotion) assigned a project manager
Samantha Morrison to coordinate the parade day activities. The main aim is to create a stand-out
float that fits in with the lively spirit of the Caribana festival. Morrison is approaching the project
by conducting thorough research on past Caribana parades and working closely with the Festival
Management Committee (FMC). Additionally, she has coordinated with the other internal
departments like Design, advertising, and Human resources Departments. She planned a detailed
work breakdown structure (WBS) outlining tasks, timelines, and associated costs.
The key components of the project include float design, contractor hiring, volunteer
management, entertainment selection, and the coordination of the parade day activities. Morrison
faces limited budget and time constraints, requiring strategic decision-making and efficient
resource allocation. The project finances are clearly outlined, with a detailed budget covering
cash and noncash expenses. Income comes from sponsorship and contra advertisements, while
costs include internal resources, external purchases, and payment for contracts.
BUDGET OVERVIEW: The budget for the Toronto Sun Caribana project is detailed in WBS.
The total budget including both cash and non-cash components is estimated at $ 22,624. This
comprises sponsorship revenue, cash expenses for external purchases and contracts, and non-
cash expenses such as volunteer hours and contra advertisement.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
2. Introduction
The Toronto Sun’s venture into the Scotiabank Caribana Festival stands as a
pivotal moment, marking a vibrant collaboration with one of Canada’s most celebrated cultural
events. Under the adept leadership of Samantha Morrison, the senior promotions coordinator,
this Caribana Parade Project unfolds as an exhilarating opportunity for the renowned daily
newspaper to not only participate in the festival’s vibrant tapestry but also strategically elevate
its brand’s visibility and engagement. Against the historical backdrop of the festival’s roots
dating back to 1967 and its evolution into a global phenomenon celebrating Caribbean music,
cuisine, and arts, the Toronto Sun’s role as a major media sponsor in this grand parade holds
significant weight. Morrison’s wealth of experience in events coordination, marketing, and
public relations, complemented by her academic background in broadcasting, positions her as a
dynamic force leading the charge. As we delve into the project’s intricacies encompassing
procurement, budgeting, volunteer management, and entertainment coordination, it is evident
that Morrison’s strategic vision is poised to transform the Toronto Sun’s participation into a
resounding success, where meticulous planning converges with cultural celebration, and where
the vibrancy of the Toronto Sun meets the dynamic energy of the Scotiabank Caribana Festival.

9. Conclusion
The procurement strategy for Toronto Sun Caribana is well thought out,
beginning with a precise description of the float construction objectives in the Statement of Work
(SOW) and incorporating stakeholders in order to produce comprehensive project specifications.
Analysing needs, conducting in-depth market research, creating a thorough Request for
Quotation (RFQ), choosing vendors according to predetermined standards, settling on terms, and
formally signing contracts are all part of the procurement process. A Work Breakdown Structure
(WBS) is used to organize the project budget, classifying costs and differentiating between cash
and non-cash items. Every budget item has a comment section that details the costs associated
with contracts, external purchases, and internal resources. The cash flow, which is connected to
the schedule and work breakdown structure (WBS), separates one-time from recurring costs and
offers a weekly running balance that makes net cash flow easy to understand. A thorough
procedure from needs analysis to contract termination is outlined in the procurement plan. With
both cash and non-cash components, the budget and cash flow show a clear financial picture.
This methodical approach guarantees successful project delivery, efficient cost control, and
transparency. For a comprehensive grasp, refer to the Excel spreadsheet that is attached for
additional information on the target profit analysis, cash flow, and budget.
