Congratulations again to La Serata Italiana for winning Best Philanthropic Group at last week's Philanthropy Awards held at the National Arts Center.

This event recognizes individuals and groups who have made a significant contribution to our community through their work raising funds and awareness.

For the past 38 years, La Serata Italiana has raised funds to support patient programs and kidney research in our community and they have recently surpassed $1 million in funds raised. This is a significant milestone well worthy of recognition.

Thank you to the entire committee for your continued support of our work over many decades. The impact you have made is incredible!

Get your virtual copy of UNSALTED here: https://www.saltfreecanada.ca/salt-free-canada-cookbook/

Salt is something that is almost impossible to avoid. It can be found at in every restaurant and in most packaged & processed foods. The average Canadian consumes almost double the recommended amount of sodium, which can lead to complications such as kidney disease and hypertension. With the help of students from culinary colleges across Canada, we present to you 'UNSALTED', a salt-free cookbook filled with FLAVOUR-PACKED salt-free recipes aimed at reducing the amount of sodium we consume. A portion of proceeds from the sale of the cookbook will go towards charities representing chronic illnesses that require sodium-free diets.

(Physical copies, as well as a French translation, will be available soon. Fill out the form on our website to be the first to know when they are available!)

Unbelievable! After several years and lots of patience, I am pleased to report that my Private Member’s Bill just passed the Senate and will become the law in Canada. Canadians will now be able to sign up as organ and tissue donors through their annual tax form. This will ensure more Canadians get that critical life-saving transplant. I thank all parties for putting aside partisanship to ensure this Bill passed unanimously at all stages. I also thank the Senate of Canada (especially Sen. Leo Housakos and Sen. Stan Kutcher) for taking just a few sitting days to fast-track this legislation into law. Only 1.9% of Private Members’ Bills pass into law and so this is a special day indeed. As I have said before, I only wish my friend Robert Sallows was still with us to share in this wonderful moment.
