Of course the successful bidder was Ralph Chiodo founder of Active Green+Ross.
Another successful Welcome to Canada Festa. The event was co-chaired by Ralph Chiodo & OPP Commissioner Julian Fantino to raise funds for the PIER 21 Society. There was a wide variety of food prepared by notable chefs and served by national and local celebrities. Pier 21 is Canada's immigration museum and is located in Halifax. This national historic site was the landing place for one million immigrants from 1928-1971.
Una Casetta in Canada, the name of the exhibit at Pier 21, Canada’s Immigration Museum. The gallery and its Una Casetta in Canada exhibit celebrates the story of Ralph and Rose Chiodo and the stories of other immigrants who came to Canada to realize their dreams and build a new home. “Ralph and Rose have an inspiring story,” says Kim Reinhardt, Pier 21’s chief curator. “The exhibit celebrates their success, generosity and the contributions they have made to this wonderful country. Their story will always be a part of this place. I hope they know they can always come home to Pier 21.”
