Treasurer
I was born in Italy at the age of 9 moved to Canada with my family. After high school graduation moved back to Italy, my love for my country. After spending 23 years in Italy I decided to move back to Canada to be close to my family. I am an education assistant in the Maple Ridge school district. I was a Trevisani member even in Italy, comune di Paese, now part of the Trevisani in Vancouver and part of the comitato for about 6 years now. My free time is divided between traveling, my family and keeping contacts with my friends and family in Italy |
Secretary
I immigrated to Canada when I was 5 years old from Castelfranco Veneto. My parents always maintained the "trevisano" dialect and customs so I was very happy and honoured to have joined the Trevisani Nel Mondo in 1999. I wanted to be able to pass on the heritage and traditions to my children and grandchildren and what better way than to participate in the Trevisani events here. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with family and friends, scrapbooking, reading and travelling to hot destinations whenever I can. |
Cultural Director
My parents come from Carpenedo (Vedelago) and Ospedaletto (Istrana), and I was born here in Vancouver. I have been part of the Trevisani since 1999, first as Treasurer and for the past several years as Cultural Director. Since being a part of the committee, I have had the pleasure of meeting, either online or in person, many fellow Trevisani at different venues all over the world. In my spare time, I enjoy baking, scrapbooking and connecting with people on Facebook! |
ICC Delegate
I was born in Vancouver; both of my parents were immigrants from Istrana (Pezzan and Ospedaletto). I am retired as of 2018, having worked for TELUS for 37 years. This is my first year as part of the committee and I am looking forward to working with other members to keep the Trevisani spirit alive and having fun with our amazing Vancouver organization. |
ICC Delegate
My name is Dino Bertelli I have been on the Trevisani nel Mondo committee for 10 Years. I am married and have four adult children. My Mother was born in Paese, and my father from Quinto in Treviso. I enjoy being a member of the Trevisani nel Mondo I have met so many people and it has expanded my knowledge of my heritage. |
I was born and raised here in Burnaby, three out of four of my grand-parents immigrated from the Treviso area in the 50s & 60s. Some of my favorite memories with my grandparents revolve around going to Trevisani events. Getting a plate of pasta and watching all of the families enjoying their day at the park during the annual Picnic (along with some Bocce) as well as dancing at the Trevisani Banquet. I look forward to continue these traditions as a proud member of this Committee. |
Immigrated from San Zenone , Treviso in 1964 I have worked at the Royal Bank for 25 years. I have 2 kids. I belong to the ladies group for St. Helen's ( M & M) for over 30 years This is my 6th year with the Trevisani committee. |
I was born here in Canada, and now live and work in Vancouver. I spent my childhood watching my mother and grandparents devote their time to strengthening the Trevisani Nel Mondo, and seeing how rewarding their experiences were. As I grew, I had more opportunities to volunteer and take part in events. Now, I'm grateful for the chance to take a larger role and contribute more to our organization! |
Bortolo immigrated to Canada from Chiarano, Treviso in 1958. He's the father of three and has five grandchildren. When he's not working on his award winning garden and fundraising for childhood cancer research via his Christmas lights, he can usually be seen volunteering for various Italian society's. Most notably he has been a dedicated executive member of the Trevisani nel Mondo Vancouver since 2005. |
I was born in Loria, Treviso and moved to Trail, BC in 1967. There I worked as a machinist and soon after sent for my fiancé Imelda. We moved to Vancouver a few years later and have lived amongst our fellow Trevisani ever since. I have been a part of the comittato for almost ten years and really enjoy cooking the pasta at the picnics and Befana. I volunteer with St. Helens Parish, the Mission Society and Notre Dame High School. I spend lots of time in the garden, fixing anything that is broken and staying busy! |
Ciao a tutti! My name is Maela and I moved to Vancouver 2 years ago from the beautiful Zenson Di Piave (TV). Even though I decided to completely change my professional and personal life and move to the other side of the world I am very proud of my birth city (Forza Giallo Blu!) and heritage therefore I am very excited to be member of Trevisani and keep our traditions ongoing. |
I emigrated 3 years ago and I joined the Trevisani Nel Mondo a few weeks after I arrived. Since then, I have realized how important is to be part of an association, that even if so far from home, keeps the traditions alive. Being an active part of this association allows me, along with all the committee and the members of the Trevisani nel mondo, to keep our traditions alive for the old and new generations. |
Sandra Crema born in Vancouver 1965. Parents from Giavera del Montello, mamma from San Zenone. I have always been proud of my heritage, but even prouder to be Trevisana. I have been on the committee for 3 years. |
