Sénateur Loffreda: “Réflexion sur mon double héritage en tant que fier Canadien d’origine italienne”

Le sénateur Loffreda partage avec nous sa chronique mensuelle. Pour sa première chronique de 2024, le sénateur a choisi d’écrire, exceptionnellement, un long article dans lequel il réfléchit sur son héritage de Canadien d’origine italienne et revient avec tendresse sur sa plus récente visite en Italie l’été dernier pour participer à la Marche pour le Mémoire et la Paix en l’honneur de nos soldats canadiens qui ont participé à l’opération Husky en 1943. La visite du sénateur a également coïncidé avec l’inauguration d’un nouveau centre communautaire à Muccia et d’une nouvelle résidence étudiante à l’université de Camerino pour laquelle la communauté italo-canadienne avait collecté des fonds après les tremblements de terre de 2016 qui ont frappé l’Italie. En bas de l’article, une galerie photo de la visite du sénateur en Italie.

Il Senatore Loffreda: “Riflessioni sulla mia doppia eredità di orgoglioso Italo-Canadese”

Il Senatore Loffreda condivide con noi la sua rubrica mensile. Per la sua prima rubrica del 2024, il Senatore ha scelto di scrivere, eccezionalmente, un lungo pezzo in cui riflette sulla sua eredità di canadese di origine italiana e ripercorre con affetto la sua ultima visita in Italia l’estate scorsa per prendere parte alla Marcia per la Memoria e la Pace in onore dei soldati canadesi che parteciparono all’Operazione Husky nel 1943. La visita del Senatore è coincisa anche con l’inaugurazione di un nuovo centro sociale a Muccia e di una nuova residenza studentesca presso l’Università di Camerino per la quale la comunità italo-canadese aveva raccolto fondi dopo i terremoti del 2016 che colpirono l’Italia. In fondo all’articolo, una fotogallery del viaggio del Sentore in Italia.

Senator Loffreda: “Reflecting on My Dual Inheritance as a Proud Italian Canadian”

Senator Loffreda shares with us his monthly column.  For his first column of 2024, the Senator opted to write, exceptionally, a long piece in which he reflects on his heritage as a Canadian of Italian descent and looks back fondly on his most recent visit to Italy last summer to take part in the Walk for Remembrance and Peace in honour of our Canadian soldiers who participated in Operation Husky in 1943.  The Senator’s visit also coincided with the inauguration of a new community centre in Muccia and a new student residence at the university in Camerino for which the Italian-Canadian community had raised funds after the 2016 earthquakes that struck Italy. At the bottom of the article, a photo gallery from Senator’s visit to Italy.  (more…)

OECTA declares war on the YCDSB

TORONTO – The Catholic teachers union OECTA declares war on its members’ employer: the York Catholic District School Board. The president of the York Catholic Teachers, Mike Totten, has in fact sent a very harsh letter to trustee Frank Alexander, “guilty” – according to Totten – of having presented a motion, being discussed at today evening’s board of trustees, to overcome the divisions caused, in recent months, by requests to fly flags in YCDSB schools other than those recognized by all, in particular the one of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.
