About Us

TO CREATE

…a greater sense of community. To explore our cultural heritage and delve deep into the contributions we’ve made to the community; making lasting connections with Calabrian organizations both in Italy and in Canada.

TO ENABLE

…our children and grandchildren to learn about our culture (beyond food and wine) and instill in them pride in their Calabrese heritage. To promote the extremely rich and diverse Calabrian history that dates back to 9000 BC.

TO DEMONSTRATE

…the evolution of the Calabrian culture and its ability to gain from its adversaries, making a significant impact on food, cooking style, artistic expression, architecture and religious doctrine, and the way it has shaped the thinking of the people of Calabria.
