In 1997 Joan Yim, approached Father Gregory Botte at Saint Francis of Assisi Church in Toronto and enlisted his help to host dinner services from the basement hall. Together they embarked on Nonnina’s Table, an initiative centered on supplementing nourishment to anyone that required it in memory of Tina “Nonnina” Luciano goodwill efforts in the community. After the passing of Father Gregory in 2009, Nonnina’s Table’s services were relocated to Scadding Court Community Centre. My good friend Gianpietro Nagliati Bravi expressed respect and compassion for the work that Connie and the team were doing in the community. This year there was a shortage of toys. Gianpietro Nagliati Bravi, Mirela Lonian, Nearly Famous Enterprises Inc. CIBPA Toronto, Joanne Cocuzzo and I were humbled to support. There was over 1000 families that received food and Christmas toys today. This organization is absolutely incredible. When leaving the community center, I noticed kids skating on the outdoor hockey rink. There was a wooden structure which I assumed was some type of storage (4 foot tall ) as I climbed on top of the structure to take a better picture of the rink, Joanne pointed out that I might be actually standing on someone’s home. Parts of our city have encampments. It did not even cross my mind that there was a homeless person sleeping in this hand made 2 x 4 storage structure. I did jump off the box. We need to do more to combat homelessness and hunger. I am extremely grateful when people are able to give back in any way they can. By bringing awareness, by donating time, money, resources, whatever the help may look like. Thank you to Connie, Jill and all the volunteers.

The Creative School at Toronto Metropolitan University held the 5-year celebration of The Creative School Cortona summer campus. The opportunity to study in such a rich cultural setting, where art, design, and media intersect with Tuscany's heritage, provides students at Toronto Metropolitan University with a transformative and immersive experience. The excitement and creativity that students bring to their work—and the ways in which they engage with local industry and academic partners—add immeasurable value to their education. With over 300 students having participated in The Creative School’s summer campus in Tuscany, Italy over the last 5 years, we are proud of the growth and success we’ve seen. Now, as we move into the next phase, we are eager to expand our networks in Tuscany and across Italy. Special thanks to the ongoing visionary leadership of Charles Falzon, Mohamed Lachemi, Dr. Roberta Iannacito-Provenzano, Cory Searcy, and many more. Special thanks to community, industry members who supported The Creative School, Robert Sacco, CMILT, CIBPA Toronto, and many more. Special thanks to The Creative School faculty and staff who have worked collaboratively with our partners to continue to build on our partnership, Joseph Medaglia, Kathleen Pirrie Adams, Tanya White, Sadia Kamran and many more. Special thanks to Aryaan Kanji and Maryam Shah for their leadership in curating the student exhibition for the 5-year celebration. #TheCreativeSchool #TheFutureIsCreative Photo credits: YYZ Media (founded by The Creative School Alumna)
