Successes
Since the inaugural year, the festival has received much needed support from the community and the various levels of government through the Ontario Arts Council, the City of Ottawa and Heritage Canada. Ottawa Reggae Festival has become a member of Ottawa Festival’s thus being able to use their resources and marketing outreach
In an effort to give back to the community the Ottawa Reggae Festival hosts community events around the nation’s capital throughout the year. These events include the 46th Anniversary Celebration of Jamaican Independence with the Ottawa Rapidz, a Canada Day Block Party downtown and Marley Night event celebrating Black History Month.
Coca Cola partnered with the festival’s green team, making it possible to recycle over 240 cubic feet (6,800 L) of cardboard, plastic and aluminum.

Famous quotes containing the word successes:

—Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)
“Small successes are still successes; great failures are still failures.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“The brotherhood of men does not imply their equality. Families have their fools and their men of genius, their black sheep and their saints, their worldly successes and their worldly failures. A man should treat his brothers lovingly and with justice, according to the deserts of each. But the deserts of every brother are not the same.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
