Thank you to everyone who joined us on August 1st for THE ICCA Club Night FOR MEMBERS.
We plan to continue these events every month, and you can join us for the September Club Night (a little early due to the Festa Italiana Weekend planning) on Thursday, August 29th, from 6:30 - 9:00pm.
Read (in Italian and English!) what one of our long-time ICCA members, Mariolina Koller-Fanconi, had to say about this event… and check out some of the pictures below .

Incontro serale dei soci dell’ICCA
Ma che l’ICCA stia diventando un club notturno? mi son detta leggendo il recente invito. Buonissima l’idea di organizzare un incontro serale dei soci dell’ICCA, la nostra associazione creata dall’animo espansivo degli immigrati italiani, dei loro figli e degli affezionati amici canadesi.
Un’associazione sta in vita se i soci esistono non soltanto sulla lista di chi ha pagato la tassa sociale dell’anno corrente, ma anche in persona, e l’incontro dell’altra sera (giovedì 1° agosto 2024 dalle sei e mezzo fin verso le nove) ha dimostrato che l’ICCA sta fiorendo. Non eravamo in tanti, forse nemmeno una cinquantina, ma almeno per me è stata un’occasione veramente piacevole di rivedere vecchi amici ancora degli anni pre-Covid e di fare la conoscenza anche di nuovi giovani soci che, sono sicura, diventeranno miei amici.
Spero che questo genere di incontri - in avvenire eventualmente accompagnati da un triangolo di pizza ed un goccio di Prosecco - diventi un’abitudine.
Arrivederci quindi al prossimo incontro che avrà luogo spero fra non molto.

Evening get-together of ICCA members
Is the ICCA now becoming a nightclub? I asked myself reading the recent invitation. What a good idea to organize an evening get-together of ICCA’s members, our association that was created by the feeling souls of Italian immigrants, by their children and their affectionate Canadian friends.
An association remains alive not only if its members are on the list of the ones who paid the fee for the current year but also personally and the get-together of a few evenings ago (on Thursday, August 1st, 2024, from 6 to around 9 PM) has proven that ICCA is blooming.
We were not many, maybe less than fifty, but still, for me, it’s been a splendid opportunity to see some old pre-Covid friends again and to get acquainted with new, even young members, who will certainly become my friends too.
I hope that this kind of event in future - possibly accompanied by a square of pizza and a glass of Prosecco - will become a habit.
Therefore, see you at the next get-together that I anticipate will take place shortly.
