From spending the day in the sun to taking part in a charity hockey game, families in Ottawa stayed busy for Father's Day. CTV's Camille Wilson reports. From spending the day in the sun to taking part in a charity hockey game, families in Ottawa stayed busy for Father's Day. CTV's Camille Wilson reports. Fathers across the nation's capital were celebrating Father's Day on Sunday with their families. Some dads spent the day at the park enjoying a picnic and fun with their children. The event was put on by the Ottawa Italian Committee as the final event wrapped up the Italian Week festivities. 'We wanted to meld this tradition in Italy where during harvest times, people come together, neighbors come together, families come together to have picnics outside or enjoy a shared food and share community outdoors,' said Alexina McLeod, board member of Italian Week Ottawa. 'We thought it was a nice way to celebrate fathers and Italian culture and heritage at the same time.' Families got to enjoy Italian-style sandwiches from Di Rienzo, play lawn games and listen to Italian music.

Especially on such a nice day, it's a great time to be together,' said Fabio Moneta, enjoying the Father's Day picnic in the park with family. 'We love getting outside and it's such a beautiful day,' added Angela Howell-Moneta. 'We love to just try to be together without screens.' Spending quality time is what matters to most dads. Some in the park say they just wanted to keep the day simple. The Nepean Rookies hockey league held a dad and son or dad and daughter hockey game, to raise money for charity. 'With the economy the way it is, I figured the ones hardest hit are the ones that require charities and donations. We put on this event so all the funds today will go towards, the charity of everyone's choices. The main one that we're giving to is CHEO,' said John Cho, organizer for the Nepean Rookies.

'What a better way to spend Father's Day than playing hockey with your son. It's great to share something we're both passionate about together,' said Derick Lalonde, a Nepean Rookie playing hockey with his son. 'I like playing hockey with my dad a lot. I play in my basement a lot with him,' said Arthur. 'It's fun to get together, play ice hockey with my son and being on the same ice,' added Mario Guindon. 'It's a good time to get together and share these moments together'

Statement by Minister Guilbeault on Italian Heritage Month
Government of Canada issues statement to mark Italian Heritage Month. OTTAWA, ON, June 1, 2025 /CNW/ - In June, we celebrate Italian Heritage Month. People of Italian descent have been in Canada since the 1880s and are an integral part of our society, making it more dynamic. Our country's first Italian community numbered around 2,000 people at the end of the 19th century. In the 2021 census, more than 1.5 million people claimed Italian origins. Home to one of the largest Italian diasporas in the world, Canada is proud of this community's vibrant, shared culture. For generations, people of Italian descent have enriched Canadian society, thanks in part to the Little Italy neighbourhoods in many major Canadian cities that have helped make our country more diverse and more open to the world. The contributions made by people of Italian descent don't stop at the gates of these neighbourhoods. They have also made notable impacts in finance, politics, cuisine, music, entrepreneurship, education, science and many other fields. Italian Heritage Month is a time to recognize the rich culture and traditions of Italian Canadians and to celebrate the spirit of community that brings us together. Let's take this opportunity to come together and learn about the heritage of our neighbours of Italian ancestry! Happy Italian Heritage Month everyone! SOURCE Canadian Heritage
