Once again, we will be featuring 30 different profiles of Italian Families - one per day - throughout June in celebration of Italian Heritage Month. Our Family Researcher Don Rampone has been hard a work collecting and compiling the following family histories.  As a sneak preview, we're also sharing an article about the Italian sojourners who worked on the irrigation project up in Belgo. Finally, we rap up with an article on Italian families in Kelowna written by Brenda M. Shaw.

​Look for them all on our website and on Facebook!.
