CubaPLUS
Launch in Toronto

No other place in Toronto compares in natural beauty. From the ample and welcoming terrace of the famous Palais Royale, a dance hall enjoyed by past generations today restored to its former splendor, the shores of Lake Ontario seem to be meandering calmly and lazily as far as the eye can see, momentarily recalling the insinuating cadence of Havana's Malecón. As at the Malecon, the warm sunset of the first summer day in Toronto brings the vibrant and unmistakable notes of tropical rhythms. In the welcoming area of a section of the terrace, a master of the trade rolls splendid Havana cigars, while in the large halls of the Palais Royale professional dancers entertain the audience. With mojitos and daiquiris in hand, the beautiful people of Ontario engage in lively chat and sample Cuban cuisine. This is a very special, first class event. More than 400 guests from all areas of the province gathered for the official launch of CubaPLUS (www.cubaplus.ca).

Saying that CubaPLUS is a magazine is like saying that the distinguished Canadian writer Margaret Atwood is simply a storyteller. That does not do them justice. CubaPLUS is the culmination of the ambitious project started by its founder and director, Canadian businessman Dominic Soave, and his Taina Communications, from Vancouver in British Columbia, in consultancy with the business firm Soave Strategy Group and assisted by a formidable team of publication professionals. Luxuriously edited, printed and distributed in Canada, CubaPLUS has the support of the editorial services of the renowned Cuban news agency Prensa Latina. Each issue focuses on different and fascinating aspects of Cubans' daily life, sciences, arts, history, geography, tourism, sports, fashion, music, cuisine and the impact of Cuba in the world.
