Family and Saputo

lino: It is not only our story that can be discovered here, but the family histories of the many immigrants whose contributions helped shape Canada, said Lino at the announcement, surrounded by his family, according to The Chronicle Herald. It means so much to us to be able to share this moment with our children and grandchildren. The family, who owns the dairy-producing company Saputo, made the announcement at Pier 21 on Aug. 14 in Halifax. Lino and Mirella arrived at Pier 21 from Sicily and Veneto in the 1950s, before moving to Montreal. Today, Saputo produces dairy products in Canada, the United States, Argentina and Australia. In 1954, Giuseppe Saputo, Lino's father, founded a cheese-making company. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
