I'm lucky enough to call myself a Canadian. My parents, husband's parents all came here in the '60's from Italy.
I've attached a family picture of my husband's mom's family before they left for Canada.
The sacrifices our parents went through to start a new and better life. Nonna Rosa (Frank's grandma) pictured above left Italy with 5 children in tow all by-herself not knowing how to speak English to start a new life for her family. They arrived to Canada by boat in Halifax in the Spring of 1967. From Halifax, they took a train to meet her husband, and her eldest daughter in Toronto.
Only with a few dollars and their luggage, they had to start from scratch a new life.
