A MESSAGE FROM PREMIER DOUG FORD

I want to extend warm greetings to everyone taking part in the 9th annual Pentola d’Oro Awards. This is a chance to recognize the businesses and individuals who have made outstanding contributions to our food and beverage industry.

I thank the Italian Chamber of Commerce of Ontario Canada for hosting this annual celebration of excellence in food and wine.

Ontario is proud to be home to a large and dynamic Italian Canadian business community whose embers have made their mark in their fields. Their endeavours and accomplishments play an important role in strengthening our province and reinforcing the longstanding bonds of friendship and trade between Canada and Italy.

I know this has been a challenging time for our business community, and I thank all of you for your resilience, innovativeness and community spirit. As we emerge from this unprecedented crisis, our local business associations will play an important role in reenergizing our economy and getting us back on track. Have a wonderful evening, everyone!

Doug Ford Premier
