A tribute to Corrado Paina

This year, the gala held special significance as it honoured the memory of the former Executive Director, Corrado Paina, who was instrumental in the success of the BEA for all these years. Throughout his tenure, Corrado tirelessly dedicated his life to serving the Italian-Canadian community, leaving an indelible mark on all who knew him.

"The 2024 BEA is a testament to Corrado's lasting influence. His unwavering commitment to fostering Italian-Canadian collaboration does and will continue to blossom. This year's winners would make him immensely proud. Their innovative spirit embodies his vision which serves as a constant source of inspiration for ICCO Canada's initiatives, like the CAMERA project." - Tony Altomare & Pat Pelliccione, ICCO Canada Co-Presidents
