The name ‘Canada’ comes from the Huron-Iroquois language and means settlement or village. For us, this holds a great deal of meaning. Our family, like most Canadians, is 1st generation Canadian. Our Father was born in Italy and came to settle in Canada when he was only 15 years old in search of a better life…and this is where our story begins.

Embracing the opportunity this free life gave him, our father started in the development side of business which launched our family into real estate in the early 1950’s, making a lasting imprint on Atlantic Maritime provinces that is still felt today. Our family has enjoyed over a quarter of a century growth in construction and real estate development. This has instilled in us the value of hard work and the importance of a hands-on business approach. We are thankful for the opportunity Canada has given us and continues to give us, and we are proud to be Canadian, where the opportunities are endless and the cultural diversity is empowering.

The Canada Day long weekend offers a variety of activities to enjoy around our community. Visit the big Canada Day Celebrations at Spencer Smith Park where there will be children’s activities, food, a marketplace, and live bands including headliner Ashley MacIsaac. The night will end at 10pm with a spectacular fireworks show.
This Canada Day weekend, we hope that you will reflect on what makes you proud to be Canadian and we wish you, your family and your friends great memories and a safe holiday weekend. For great recipes & entertaining tips for Canada Day, visit our Rocca Sisters Pinterest Board!
