Mayor Dyas proclaims June italian heritage month in kelowna

6/6/2024

His Worship, Kelowna Mayor Tom Dyas joined us for our Festa della Repubblica celebration and proclaimed June Italian Heritage Month in Kelowna. Mayor Dyas recognized the contribution of the Italian community over the past 140 years. An excerpt from the proclamation says:

"Kelowna is a city of unique cultural make up and thrives as a community of many ethnicities, cross-cultural understanding, inclusiveness and respect for one's traditions. It is a city where the Italian community settled and continues to passionately share and celebrate its culture, values and heritage with other communities to bring a vibrant and colourful Italian flavour throughout Kelowna's multicultural mosaic. "

After his official duties were done, the Mayor stayed to enjoy some celebratory cake, along with councillor Maxine Dehart.

The full proclamation is shown below:
