The Association Is Founded
Trevisani di Vancouver is established by a group of founding members committed to preserving their roots and creating a sense of belonging in British Columbia.
Who We Are
A community built on shared roots
The Trevisani di Vancouver is more than an association — it is a living community shaped by shared origins, values, and a deep sense of belonging.
Founded in 1978, the association was created by Trevisani families who carried with them not only memories of their homeland, but also a strong desire to preserve their identity while building a new life in British Columbia.
Today, that same spirit continues to unite generations.
Established in 1978
From its founding in Vancouver to today, the association has remained a place where heritage, belonging, and community continue to meet across generations.
Origins
Our Origins
At the heart of the association’s foundation was our first President, Mario Bordignon, supported by a dedicated founding committee.
Together, they established not just an organization, but a place where people could feel at home — even thousands of kilometers away from Treviso.
Their vision laid the foundation for a community that continues to grow and evolve today.
What began in 1978 as a small group of pioneers has grown into a dynamic and multi-generational community. Today, Trevisani di Vancouver welcomes long-time members, new arrivals, and younger generations rediscovering their roots.
Future
Looking Forward
Our role today is not only to preserve the past, but to make it meaningful for the future.
We continue to create opportunities for connection, cultural exchange, and community growth — ensuring that our identity remains alive and relevant for generations to come.
