Another profound loss in our community. The FPCBP Board of Directors conveys its sincerest condolences to the Melo Family, friends, colleagues and Luso community. Thank you Frank for your selfless contributions to the Luso Canadian Community and enriching the lives of persons with disabilities. May your legacy live on in the hearts and minds of all who knew you. Paz á sua alma

Casting call below for portuguese speaking men of Brazilian descent:

It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of another great Luso-Canadian community leader, Mr. José Amaral, former president and longtime board member of the Amor Da Pátria CommunityCenter who sadly passed away a victim of COVID-19. Mr. Amaral was born in Faial, Azores and since immigrating to Canada was a selfless volunteer who was passionate about his cultural heritage and promoting it with such great enthusiasm for all to embrace. We will miss his friendly pop-ins to the Federation office over the years, his encouragement, great sense of humour and radiant smile. The Board of Directors of the FPCBP conveys its sincerest condolences to his family, friends and ADP Community. Paz à sua alma

Today is the 25th of April, an important day in Portugal’s history as in 1974 it came out of a dictatorial regime, with soldiers placing carnations in their guns for a peaceful end to the battle known as the carnation revolution that United the nation. Liberty and Democracy, always. Liberdade e democracia, sempre. #Feliz25DeAbril
