With a new festival, it takes some time to build up contacts on the volunteer list. We have had hundreds of people sign up to work box office, guest services, merch delivery, and more. We are still looking to fill 327 shifts on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays between August 6 and September 5. Any suggestions where I can find a few more good people to join in the festivities?

Here is a new blog article that discusses how things need to change in Edmonton’s Italian community.

By Mike Cristello If you are of Italian decent, this is a horrible thought. We are currently on a dangerous collision course that needs to be altered, or it will destroy everything that the Italian pioneers in Edmonton have made. Maybe if enough people read this, we can change things, and I hope we....

Things are changing!

The Associazione Giovani Italiani di Edmonton has decided to make some changes. As our group expands, we wanted to become more inclusive towards all ages and not just appealing to the youth. We are now calling ourselves Amici Italiani. We will continue to work with Ital-Canadian communities, year round, to promote Ital-Canadian heritage. We will continue to organize events, socials and media platforms that allow Ital-Canadian communities to connect, rekindle traditions and to commemorate the pioneers who have brought Italian culture to Canada.

We are not affiliated with any other business or association but we do collaborate with as many Ital-Canadian organizations as possible to bring our vision to life. We’re proud to share our culture with anyone who is interested and welcome all Canadians to be part of our journey. The curiosity of “Honorary Italians”, as we like to call them, is the fuel that feeds our passion and what reminds us that our heritage is rooted in Canadian multiculturalism.

We are Amici Italiani!

Calling all Italian Businesses...

Are you an Italian company in Alberta looking to get some assistance promoting your business during quarantine? We want to help! We are creating a special Ital Community Update segment and wish to reach out to those Italian businesses to offer free social media promotion. This is to share with our followers that those in our community are still open and servicing the public. If you or someone you know is looking for some assistance, please send us a private message with your company name and details.

“This film is the wake-up call to the reality we are afraid to face: that in the midst of a human-caused extinction event, the environmental movement’s answer is to push for techno-fixes and band-aids. It's too little, too late.” https://youtu.be/Zk11vI-7czE
