“The launch and opening of Portugal Week will take place on May 10. This year we will have eight weeks of well-planned events that the community will value and enjoy”, said Joe Eustáquio.

The Portugal Day Parade is scheduled for June 8th, in Little Portugal in Toronto.

The president of the board of directors of the Alliance of Portuguese Clubs and Associations of Ontario (ACAPO), spoke during the Merit Awards and Scholarship Awards Gala, which took place in Toronto.

The event was attended by more than 650 guests and 31 scholarships were awarded to students of Portuguese descent, sponsored by the various associations that make up ACAPO.

“I hope this great wave of will continues. Now we are starting to finalise our program for the Portugal Week celebrations”, said Joe Eustáquio.

ACAPO comprises 35 Portuguese associations located in the Canadian province of Ontario.
