🇮🇹 Proud to celebrate Italian Heritage Month at Vancouver City Hall alongside community leaders Randy Rinaldo, Melissa De Genova, Consul General Paolo Miraglia Del Giudice, and members of Vancouver’s Italian community.
We also recognized Festa della Repubblica, celebrating Italy’s rich history and the many contributions Italian Canadians have made to our city.
Grazie and buon mese del patrimonio itali! ❤️🇨🇦
It’s Italian Heritage Month in Vancouver! It was an honour to proclaim the occasion this morning in council chambers with members of the community, ahead of Italian Days on the Drive later this month.
@vgasparro@ItalCdnMemorial@Aless_Cattaneo@ItalyinCanada@CCanadese@ItalyinToronto@italyinvan Thank you for visiting us, Vince.
It was a pleasure welcoming you and sharing the story of a community built through generations of Italian-Canadian culture and volunteerism.
We appreciate the kind words and look forward to continuing to grow and serve our community. 🇨🇦🇮🇹
Great to spend time with some of the leadership of the Italian Cultural Centre in Vancouver - Randy Rinaldo, Melissa de Genova, and Michael Cuccione.
🇨🇦🇮🇹
Across Canada, the Italian-Canadian community is woven into our nation’s cultural fabric. Established in the 1970s, the Centre has been bringing the community together for generations.
Looking forward to seeing the centre continue to grow!
What a thrill to attend the FIFA Legends event this morning at @IlCentroVan.
Huge thanks to the organizers and President @RanRinBC for bringing this incredible experience to Vancouver.
Joined Mayor @KenSimCity, Councillor @LisaDominato, and dozens of young soccer fans for an exciting lead-up to the FIFA World Cup. Seeing legends like Cafu, Zanetti, Trezeguet, Stoichkov, and so many others up close was unforgettable.
Moments like this show the power of sport to inspire the next generation. Vancouver is all in — supporting amateur soccer, growing the game, and working to #SavetheCaps.

It’s great to see this project advancing. Council directed inclusion of a turf field at Beaconsfield Park in the next capital plan. The soccer community is growing & there is enormous demand for playing fields for all age play. @ICSFsoccer@CommercialDLive@IlCentroVan#vanpoli
Happy New Year from the Board of Directors at Il Centro! 🎉
Thank you to our entire community—Italians and friends of Italian culture alike—for sharing in the experience of Italian culture in Vancouver. We’re grateful for your support and excited for what’s ahead. Auguri a tutti!
🚨 Italian cuisine is officially UNESCO!
We couldn’t be happier, prouder, and hungrier!
We do feel a little sorry for our French, Spanish, and Greek cousins, who have such exquisite cuisines…
I hope their time will come one day too!
But for now, we’re the champions! 🇮🇹🏆
🙏A heartfelt thank you to all the partners of the 10th edition of the Week of Italian Cuisine in the World in Vancouver!
🍛We look forward to celebrating Italian culinary traditions and products with you again in 2026!

My sincerest thanks to the Il Centro Italian Cultural Centre team for hosting the FIFA World Cup™ Winner’s Trophy this morning in the lead up to the FIFA26 Canada. Favourite part other than seeing the trophy up close (of course!) was meeting…1/2
What a beautiful morning with the trophy of the beautiful game!
Today, we were honoured to welcome the FIFA World Cup Winner's Trophy to East Vancouver!
Thank you to @IlCentroVan for hosting us and to the Italian community for your continued support of football in Vancouver!
