Special Invitation from the National Congress of Italian Canadians

We are pleased to share two invitations for you on behalf of the National Congress of Italian-Canadians.

They are going to be celebrating in Halifax next week on Monday, June 17th as the train filled with folks who joined the NCIC on a journey across Canada is coming to an end with their last stop here in Halifax, NS. This is an opportunity to meet other Italian Canadians right here in Nova Scotia.

There are two events that members and friends of the Italian Canadian Cultural Association of Nova Scotia are invited to, and we want to share this information with you below.

On Monday, June 17th, at 7:00pm, you are invited to a Reception hosted by the Consul General of Italy in Montreal at the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21.

SORRY - This event ON MONDAY, JUNE 17TH, is NOW FULLY BOOKED.

For those who did RSVP, this includes appetizers and a glass of wine at the reception.

On Tuesday, June 18th, you are invited to join the National Congress of Italian Canadians at the Westin Nova Scotian Hotel for the last official event of this memorable Italian Journey Across Canada adventure. The Gala Dinner tickets include a 3-course meal. There will be a cash bar.
