An awards ceremony is held annually in November and the theme
is "Castagne Night," typical of the fall harvest season in

CIPBA Ottawa has initiated a capital fundraising campaign to raise $100,000 over four years (2006 to 2010) for the program. The funds will be invested to generate yearly scholarships for the Italian-Canadian students.
