Statement by the Prime Minister of Canada

It is with great pleasure that I join everyone participating in the 9th edition of the Pentola d’Oro Awards, hosted by the Italian Chamber of Commerce of Ontario (ICCO) Canada.

The Pentola d’Oro is the annual gala dinner that promotes excellence in food and wine and recognizes individuals as well as businesses and their outstanding contributions to Ontario’s food and beverage industry. This year’s edition will celebrate the quintessential food and wine specialties from the Lazio region focusing on its regional products and authentic flavours.

ICCO Canada is proud to celebrate its 60th Anniversary of the partnership between Canada and Italy.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank ICCO Canada for their important work in promoting business development within Canadian and Italian companies.

This year, we faced significant challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic. While our celebrations may be different from previous years, they still hold the same significance and meaning.

Wishing everyone attending a wonderful and enjoyable gala dinner and celebration!
