Together
towards
a United
Community!
Dear Governors and Friends,
First and foremost, thank you for electing
me as the new President of the FCCI.
I am motivated and eager to continue
on the path forged by my predecessor,
Carmine D’Argenio.
I believe in the invaluable importance of
safeguarding the Italian language, culture
and community. Individually, we have our
unique roles that benefit the community, but
we can contribute so much more by working
as a collective.
One of my goals as your new president is to
ensure that we fully implement the Unitas
project. We will collaborate with community
leaders in order to create what we refer
to as a « United Community ». Not only
will the United Community be symbolic of
our collaborative strength, it will allow a more
efficient use of resources, it will optimize services
and it will uncover new avenues of support.
Through Unitas, the new FCCI will focus on its
original mission: to raise and distribute funds to
organizations endeavouring to promote health,
education, Italian language and culture, and
social causes, with priority given to organizations
within the Italian community. Montreal’s Italian
community is one of the largest in Canada and my
vision is for it to be a vibrant example of solidarity.
The recruitment of New Governors will ensure
the continued success of the FCCI and thereby
achieve what we all consider to be vital: the
maintenance of Italian language, heritage and
culture. There is much work to be done in this
regard. We should always be on the lookout for
industrious, charitable leaders in our community
who can help shape the future of the Foundation.
This is your Community and your Foundation.
We exist to help our community by giving to
charitable, social and cultural institutions. Without
solidarity, we cannot enhance social progress. It
is because of your support that our efforts have
succeeded in positively impacting the lives of so
many Montrealers.
Cari Governatori ed Amici,
Con l’estate che passa e fra poco finirà, finisce
anche il mio mandato che mi ha visto con
orgoglio alla guida della Fondazione Comunitaria
Italo-Canadese come presidente. È stata per me un esperienza
oltremodo positiva e arricchente. Durante gli ultimi otto anni, ho
cercato di incentivare e migliorare per quanto possibile lo sviluppo
della Fondazione con un unico grande obiettivo: il bene della nostra
comunità.
Particolare ringraziamento e riconoscimento lo rivolgo a tutti coloro
che hanno collaborato con me e che hanno realizzato insieme a me i
vari progetti. La Fondazione ha saputo, con l’evoluzione della società,
farsi carico dei bisogni di una comunità e aiutare varie istituzioni
caritative, sociali e culturali.
Distinguished
Governors
As we look forward, we invite you to invest in
your community through the FCCI. Whatever
your charitable action, together we will support
as many community needs as possible.
In closing, I want to thank Carmine D’Argenio
for his leadership as president of the FCCI for
the past 8 years. His dedication and vision
have been invaluable to the Foundation. One
of the greatest team players, the legendary
Joe Di Maggio once said, “A person always
doing his or her best becomes a natural
leader, just by example.” Mr. D’Argenio’s
example was to consistently put his best foot
forward. Let us all continue to do our best and
to lead our community into the next phase of
achievements and successes.
I look forward to serving as your president in
the upcoming year,
Sincerely,
As we look back, we thank all of you who have
been helping us achieve our goals through your

Joey Saputo, FCCI President
Il 2014 è un anno entusiasmante di cambiamento, crescita e nuove
realizzazioni. Il progetto Unitas è un traguardo unico nella storia della
FCCI. Non è stato raggiunto per caso, ma è frutto di tanto arduo
impegno da parte di tante persone dedite. Desidero anche ringraziare
i miei più stretti collaboratori che con me hanno condiviso sfide,
preoccupazioni e gioie.
Vorrei ringraziare Anna Giampà, Direttrice Generale e i membri del
Consiglio e soprattutto quelli che hanno concluso il loro mandato
quest’anno.
Infine, un particolare saluto lo rivolgo al nuovo Presidente, Sig. Joey
Saputo, che assumerà la direzione della nostra Fondazione, a cui
formulo i miei più sinceri ed affettuosi auguri di buon lavoro.

Distinguished Governors
It is always a pleasure for the FCCI to
recognize among its Governors those who
have distinguished themselves by their
achievements, their merit, and their contribution
to the lives of others. Here are four Governors
who, in the course of 2013-2014, have achieved
distinction by their work or their contribution.
The Foundation would like to offer them its
most sincere congratulations.
Gino Berretta - Governor since 2001
Mr. Berretta is a very active member of the
Shriners Hospital in Montreal, whose mission is
to assist disabled youth. He has been recently
appointed as the President of the Board of
Governors of the Shriners Canadian Hospital.
A former Alouettes football player, he is a
keen businessman providing orthotics and
prostheses and treatment that benefit not only
the disabled, but athletes as well, his selfless
dedication and devotion to the cause of health
and well-being have earned him this deserving
recognition.

anniversaire, ce n’est pas si différent. La
Fondation Communautaire Canadienne-Italienne
existe depuis 1975 grâce à l’engagement et à
la générosité de ses donateurs, Gouverneurs
et Amis. Trente-neuf ans de solidarité et de
partenariats au cours desquels plusieurs millions
de dollars ont été amassés et redistribués à la
communauté. Nous avons amorcé plusieurs
changements pour offrir un meilleur service,
certains modestes, et d’autres plus importants
comme la mise sur pied du projet Unitas en vue
d’une communauté unie.
Cette année, nous visons le recrutement de
30 Nouveaux Gouverneurs pour permettre à
la Fondation de se développer pour encore 30
autres années! Lors du Bal des Gouverneurs
le 18 octobre prochain, la FCCI profitera de
l’occasion pour célébrer cet anniversaire,
remémorer les bons coups, évoquer les défis
relevés. Elle tient à remercier et honorer les
personnes membres depuis 30 ans et plus.
Mais surtout, la Fondation veut regarder devant
pour continuer à soutenir la communauté
italienne et à promouvoir sa culture, sa langue
et son patrimoine. Aidez-nous à améliorer la
vie des gens de notre communauté. Merci de
votre générosité.

Anna Giampà, Directrice Générale FCCI
Dr. Pasquale Ferraro - Governor since 2008
Tony Loffreda - Governor since 2005
Last April, the FCCI was pleased to learn about
the launch of the Ex Vivo Program. According
to Dr. Pasquale Ferraro, the head of thoracic
surgery at the CHUM, ‘‘the program allows
transplant surgeons to better evaluate the
quality of a lung before proceeding with a
transplant’’ by means of a device the CHUM
has purchased. It is the first of its kind in North
America and the Foundation is proud to have
played a role in this achievement by granting
$ 45 000 to the project.
Mr. Loffreda received the Caring Canadian
Medal from the Governor General of Canada
in Ottawa on Monday, April 7, 2014. This is
another well-deserved addition to the Diamond
Jubilee Medal he received earlier. He was
the only Montrealer and 1 of 6 Quebecers to
receive this award from the Governor General.
This reward has not come as a surprise because
of his significant and sustained contribution to
the Italian community and to Quebec society.
Bruce Kent - Friend of the Foundation
since 2011
Mr. Kent reached a major milestone in 2014:
30 years of service with Royal Bank of Canada
Dominion Securities and of work for the
community as a whole. He has made a recent
$100,000 donation to the Canadian Society
for Yad Vashem as he is committed to issues
related to the Holocaust and to philanthropy.
His donation is a testimony of the importance
of qualities that are not part of the ambitious
side of human nature as well as the need to
never forget the past.

Only a United Community can help salvage and strengthen the Italian
language, culture and heritage.
The time has come for the FCCI to join forces with the other
major community organizations and act as the fundraising arm of
Montreal’s Italian community, one of the largest in Canada.
The philosophy behind Unitas is to work together in order to increase
the value and role of each Italian community group via a collaborative
effort, so that the true value of the Italian community and its
contributions to Quebec society will be fully recognized.
Unitas will ensure that we are better prepared to face
socio-economic challenges effectively and efficiently and to mobilize
the Italian community.
Through the Unitas project, the FCCI will focus on its original
mission: to raise and distribute funds to organizations endeavouring
to promote health, education, Italian language and culture, and
social causes, with priority given to organizations within the Italian
community.

The amendments, approved unanimously during the special
assembly held on May 6, 2014, allow representation of 4
major community organizations on the Foundation’s Board
of Fiduciaries.
Unitas brings together the following Italian
community organizations:
• Canadian Italian Business and Professional Association (CIBPA)
• National Congress of Italian-Canadians (NCIC)
• Centre Leonardo Da Vinci (CLDV)
• Centre culturel de la Petite Italie-Casa d’Italia
(CCPI-Casa d’Italia)

With Unitas, we hope that the culture of the Italian community will become more philanthropy-centric.
Society is evolving and the Italian community must evolve
with it. United we stand!
By implementing the Unitas project, we expect a reduction in
redundant fundraising solicitations, a more efficient use of resources
and optimized services and support of community needs.

community leaders. All the qualities that make you a tremendous asset
to the Foundation will render us all the more prolific when multiplied by
the addition of New Governors. We can’t do this without you!
On Saturday, October 18, 2014, the FCCI is celebrating the 30th
Anniversary of the Governors’ Ball at the Hotel Sheraton Laval. In
celebration of this momentous occasion, the FCCI aims to recruit 30 New
Governors. With more Governors the Foundation will be in a position to
help more individuals and organizations in need as the strength of the
Foundation is equal to that of its members. The more of those we have,
the greater our impact on the community will be. Since its inception
in 1975, the FCCI has distributed more than $23 million to community
groups and not-for-profit organizations endeavouring in the sectors of
health, education, culture and social causes.
Join us at one of our upcoming information evenings, along with your
proposed new candidate, for a night of looking ahead and dreaming of
tomorrow. Sessions will be held on the following dates:

fine pearls: successful Italian men and women of vision and influence,
people who recognize that the strength of a wider network can better
effect social change. The profile we expect our Governors to fit will be

Au cœur de Saint-Léonard, un centre
rayonnant pour la communauté
italienne
Le Centre Leonardo da Vinci est, sans l’ombre d’un
doute, polyvalent à l’instar du génie éponyme né
en Toscane en 1452. En effet, le Centre Leonardo
da Vinci (CLDV), soutenu par la Fondation
Communautaire Canadienne-Italienne, est le lieu
de ralliement de la communauté italienne. Situé
au cœur de Saint-Léonard, le centre, présidé
par Silvio De Rose, a pour mission de resserrer
les liens au sein de la collectivité italienne de
Montréal, de favoriser les échanges entre les
générations de tous âges et de renforcer les liens
entre les diverses communautés culturelles par
le biais de ses activités culturelles, artistiques,
sportives et sociales.
CIBPA Montréal encourage les activités
professionnelles, sociales, humanitaires de
la communauté italienne du Québec. Cette
association a à cœur la participation des ItaloCanadiens à la vie publique et économique. Elle
mise sur le sentiment d’appartenance, grâce
auquel chaque membre se sent apprécié et
valorisé et motivé à contribuer en retour à la
communauté.
Vous voulez en savoir plus?
Visitez le www.cibpamontreal.com.
D’avant-garde, comme le génie italien
éponyme, le CLDV comprend un grand théâtre
et un Piccolo Teatro, sept salles de réunions
et de conférences, un salon d’exposition
d’œuvres diverses, le salon des Gouverneurs
pour les conférences de presse et les cocktails
ainsi qu’une galerie d’art. Beau temps, mauvais

casser la croûte ou siroter un café au bistro Il
Centro Da Carlo, assistez à un des nombreux
spectacles, visitez une exposition, participez
à une des activités sportives ou venez vous
entraîner. Pour découvrir les nombreuses
facettes du Centre Leonardo da Vinci, consultez
