MPP Lecce Celebrates Italian Heritage Month at Festa D'Italia

On June 1, Stephen Lecce, MPP for King—Vaughan, joined thousands of families to kick off Italian Heritage Month at the City of Vaughan's first-ever Festa D'Italia. 

"We had a blast at what was one of the largest celebrations of Italian heritage and culture anywhere in the country — celebrating the positive contributions Italian-Canadian immigrants have made to building Canada's economy," said MPP Lecce. "A

s the son of Italian immigrants, I remain fiercely proud of my humble beginnings and pay tribute to the waves of pioneering immigrants that came to Canada with nothing but determination and a dream.  We salute them for sacrificing so much, laying the foundations for our country's growth and success today."
