Dear Italian Consolate of Toronto and MPP Onorevole Francesca La Marca, we, the parents of students of the Leonardo Da Vinci Academy of Etobicoke are signing this petition to ask for funding from the Italian Government for the only italian Language School in North America Recognized by the Italian government. We hope that with funding allocated to the school, the students of Leonardo Da Vinci Academcy can continue to foster the Italian Culture and learn the Italian Language with more resoruces available to them and better facilities. LDVA is a non-for-proit Private School, however additional funds are needed by the Italian government to help with tutiion, resources and costs of fcailities.
