Festa dei Cacciatori - Our Hunter's Feast was a Raving Success!

The Festa dei Cacciatori/Hunter’s Feast 2024 was an amazing cohosted event between the Trevisani nel Mondo of Nova Scotia and the ICCA NS.

As President of the ICCA NS, I was extremely proud of all that we accomplished together. The delicious, five-course meal, whether it be the wild menu or the alternative menu, was a treat to the senses and compliments to everyone who worked so hard to make it all happen. 

We cannot tell you how much we appreciate all your support! This event sold out in 12 days, and that includes the early notice to our members too.

Note to everyone: Folks are very interested in our events at the ICCA; please buy your tickets early whenever we send out our event notices. Members do get early notice, which is just one of the benefits of being an ICCA member. (Learn more about membership here.)

A Message from the President of the ICCA

Greetings of the season!

Looking at this past year, I am so proud of all that we have accomplished together to rebuild our ICCA.

We kicked the year off with a very exciting Festa della Repubblica, where old friends came together, and new friends were made. We hosted weddings, parties, Sunday dinners, a Holiday craft show, full language and cooking classes with waitlists and, of course, our very successful Festa Italiana in September!

Together, we secured our ICCA financials all while re-igniting our Italianità - the passion to share all that our Italian culture has to offer.

On behalf of myself and all of the ICCA Board of Directors, we wish you all the very best in the New Year!

------------------

Auguri di buone feste a tutti! Ripensando all’anno passato, sono orgogliosa di tutto ciò che abbiamo realizzato insieme per ricostruire la nostra ICCA.

Abbiamo iniziato l’anno con la Festa della Repubblica che è stato un successo in cui vecchi amici si sono riuniti e si sono fatte nuove amicizie. Abbiamo ospitato matrimoni, feste, cene domenicali, una mostra natalizia dell' artigianato, corsi completi di lingua e cucina con liste d’attesa, e la nostra Festa Italiana a settembre e' stata un grande successo!

Insieme, abbiamo garantito la stabilità finanziaria della nostra ICCA riaccendendo nel contempo la nostra Italianità - la passione di condividere tutto ciò che la nostra cultura italiana ha da offrire.

A nome mio e di tutto il Consiglio Direttivo dell'ICCA, auguriamo a voi tutti il meglio per il Nuovo Anno!

Sincerely/Cordiali saluti,

Sandra Gardin

ICCA-NS President
