Congratulations Celso Boscariol: Queen’s counsel Induction

Of the honorary title of Queen’s counsel, Attorney General and Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton has said, “The recipients of the honour of the QC designation have enriched the justice system with their contributions to the practice of law. They have demonstrated professional integrity and dedication to their profession and have made valuable contributions as volunteers to communities across the province. This is a highly coveted honour, particularly because the recipients are nominated by their peers.”

The quote aptly describes our President, Celso Boscariol who was one of 40 recipients of the honorary title at an induction ceremony held on February 10, 2017.

In addition to the significant work he has done on government relations initiatives (CETA being one), Celso is committed to the growth and professional development of young lawyers and takes his role as a mentor very seriously. Add in his dedication to community (reflected by his Canada 125 commemorative medal and an Italian Star of Solidarity), and it’s easy to see why his peers nominated Celso for this most recent honor.

Congratulations Celso, and thank you for all you do, it is much appreciated.

ITALIAN DESIGN IN VANCOUVER – Call for designers and retail stores

The Italian Chamber of Commerce in Canada-West, in collaboration with the Consulate General of Italy in Vancouver, is pleased to present an initiative: “Italian Design in Vancouver”.

The initiative has been developed on the occasion of the 16th edition of “The Italian Language Week in the World” (October 16th-23rd, 2016) in order to put an emphasis on Italian design in Vancouver and to give greater visibility and recognition to those businesses operating in the metro Vancouver area which promote Italian design

The main output of the project is the creation of an online platform – a dedicated website – that will host an interactive map of the Italian design in Vancouver. The map will highlight all participating retail, wholesale and other professional establishments in the Metro Vancouver area that sell and/or promote Italian design brands. They will be proclaimed by the Consul General of Italy the “Italian Design Ambassadors in Vancouver” and will receive a stylish dedicated storefront banner or plaque.

The activities and products of every participating business establishment will be described on the dedicated website and on all project related promotional materials (such as brochures, posters, flyers, etc.) as well as advertised by our local media partners and through both, Italian Consulate’s and Italian Chamber’s websites and social media outlets.

Please find a presentation and more details about this initiative by clicking HERE.
