Over the weekend of November 18 and 19, Calgary Italian Bakery had the pleasure of accompanying Spolumbo’s at the Grape Escape, Calgary Co-op’s annual wine, spirits and beer event

On November 5, 2016, Calgary Italian Bakery participated in our 2nd and the 24th annual Stuff a Bus food drive that Calgary Co-op puts on with the Calgary Food Bank and Calgary Transit.

Calgary Italian Bakery joined Predator Drilling, Clean Harbors, Spolumbos Fine Foods and Deli, Big Fish Staffing in hosting a lunchtime fundraiser BBQ. Proceeds of the event went to the Canadian Red Cross to support those displaced by the Fort McMurray fire. Hundreds lined up to enjoy the BBQ in support of those affected by the fires. CIBL thanks everyone who came out and support this important cause!

This past weekend, we had the pleasure of taking part in the Rogers Hometown Hockey event in Calgary.

Calgary Italian Bakery had the privilege of being a part of Calgary’s largest single-day food drive on November 7, 2015.

Calgary Italian Bakery supplied buns to the Alberta Food Aid benefit concert on August 15, 2013.

“The money goes back to the clinical trial … so the money benefits the patients directly,” said Henning, adding a $50,000 donation from Calgary Italian Bakery was a huge boost to their fundraising efforts.

“They certainly helped out tremendously,” said Henning.

Calgary Italian Bakery owners David Bontorin, his brother Louis and their father Luigi knew they wanted to celebrate their 50th year in business but decided to forgo a party in exchange for a donation to battle cancer.

“We said … we should do something that’s going to be longer lasting,” said Bontorin.
