Bill 43 1998

An Act respecting

Giovanni Caboto Day

Preamble

On June 24, 1997, Canadians marked the 500th anniversary to the day of the

arrival on these shores of the discoverer, Giovanni Caboto (John Cabot).

Giovanni Caboto was an Italian citizen of Venice with a keen interest in

exploring new lands. Caboto landed on the eastern shores of Canada on June

24, 1497.

It is appropriate to recognize June 24 as Giovanni Caboto Day in Ontario

to mark, not only the day of the explorer's arrival, but also the many

ongoing contributions of the Italian-Canadian community to life in Ontario

and Canada.

Therefore, Her Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the

Legislative Assembly of the Province of Ontario, enacts as follows:

Giovanni Caboto Day

1. June 24 in each year is proclaimed Giovanni Caboto

day.

Commencement

2. This Act comes into force on the day it receives Royal

Assent.

Short title

3. The

short title of this Act is the Giovanni Caboto Day Act,
