MPP Lecce Hosts Largest Italian Heritage Event To Date

On June 27, Stephen Lecce, MPP for King—Vaughan, hosted his annual Italian Heritage Month Celebration for local seniors from the Maple Pioneer Italian Seniors Club, the Maple Italo Seniors Club, and Villa Giardino in Maple. 

"Every year, I throw a celebration for Italian Heritage Month, to give thanks to those seniors who sacrificed so much as immigrants to Canada, but never gave up hope," said MPP Lecce. "This year's event was bigger and better than ever — and served as a great way to recognize the stories of resilience and unmatched work ethic of the greatest generation that have shaped our community. I was also proud to join Trustee Saggesse to announce that we have preserved the Italian language program in York Region — a positive legacy as we keep Italian heritage and language alive in future generations."
