WELCOME TO THE ORDER SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF ITALY OF CANADA


We are an organization devoted to the celebration of Italian heritage, community
service, and charitable good works. As a national organization, we are made
up of lodges scattered throughout Canada. Our rich history as an Order began
over 100 years ago, with our first lodge established in 1915.


National Mission Statement:

Canadians of Italian Heritage Working to Strengthen Our Community.

A MESSAGE FROM CARMINE FILICE,
NATIONAL PRESIDENT

Dear Brothers and Sisters, and friends of the Order Sons and Daughters of Italy of Canada.

If you have not noticed, we now operate as the Order Sons and Daughters of Italy (OSDI).  Did you know that women were members of OSDI from its inception in 1905 in New York city?  The first Canadian lodge was founded in 1915 in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.

Italians faced intolerance and discrimination when they first immigrated to Canada but overcame it all by supporting each other.  The adversities they faced, and the strong support structure developed in our Order was the foundation that created a culture of inclusion for all.
