Centro Scuola has been fulfilling its mission of promoting the teaching of Italian Language and Culture within the Canadian context.

​

After 45 years of successful collaboration with  Boards of Education, community associations and stakeholders in education, Centro Scuola would like to recognize and thank the many  people who have lavished their talents in promoting and teaching the Italian language and culture  in the last 45 years. The efforts of Centro Scuola have also facilitated and opened the horizons to the teaching of other languages in the school system and other communities have benefited from our commitment.

​

If we are able today  to speak the Italian language in our community, if we have newspapers, events, performances in Italian, if our children could speak with their grandparents and relatives in Italy in Italian, if we could pray, appreciate fine poetry and art,  which  Italy is envied for, we owe it all to those who have made the teaching and the promotion of the Italian language their constant commitment throughout their life.

​

In order to honour these heroes, in our community,  some well known and some who have worked silently behind the scenes, Centro Scuola would like you to join in honouring this years recepients:          Dr. Bartlett, Dr. RJ Cusimano, Prof. Danesi, Mr. Femia and for the youth award Mr. C. Guadagno.

​

Your support and participation  in making this event successful is of paramount importance and would be greatly appreciated.
