On October 7, 2010, the Legislature of the Province of Ontario passed Bill 103 into law declaring forever the month of June as Italian Heritage month to recognize the important contributions immigrants have made in building Ontario's communities and the economic, political, social and cultural achievements of Italian Canadians throughout the province. Italian Heritage Month is an opportunity to remember, celebrate and educate future generations about Ontario's rich history.
On June 30, 2023, Hon. Leah Taylor Roy, MP for Aurora—Oak Ridges—Richmond Hill and Hon. David Lametti, who served as Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada from 2019 to 2023 celebrated Italian Heritage Month and Canada Day along with representatives from Richmond Hill Social & Bocce Club and Italian communities, sharing best wishes and memories for culture heritage appreciation, collaboration and community engagement.
