“ As a Black business owner , you quickly learn that you need a custom suit of armour and a diverse toolbox . Equipped with both , you also require those that will open doors for you and help you stand up when you fall ,” adds Sandy . Sandy is also very proud of SAV ’ s long-standing post-secondary scholarship to Kingsway College in the Durham , ON region .

Sandy Audio Visual Celebrates 25 Years
Sandy Audio Visual reached its 25 th anniversary in September 2020 . It has been providing comprehensive audio-visual services to the corporate , multi-cultural , and worship communities and has produced some of the largest events and festivals in Canada . Over the years , the company has been a leader in professional high-definition webcasting throughout North America and the Caribbean .
“ The vision for our existence and growth as a company stems from our father , Dr . Cleve P . Sandy ’ s , love for the audio-visual field ,” says Cleve Sandy , who heads the company . “ Our father was an early adopter of the technology , at the time being 16-mm film cameras , multi-slide projectors , analog audio mixers , and reel-to-reel tape machines . As children , Colin and myself learned how to develop film in our darkroom , synchronize multiprojector slide shows , and splice analog audio tape together . The dream for SAV had its humble beginnings in Trinidad and Tobago with our father . The idea started with a wooden box cart sporting a music system powered by car batteries . Our father ’ s vision was simple — to provide music and entertainment for Trinidadians .”
Since then , SAV has grown and diversified substantially , opening offices in Toronto and Laurel , MD . Over the years , SAV has been proudly involved such events as : Spirit of KALAYAAN ’ 98
