BURLINGTON, ON
He came to this country with very little money, the clothing he owned in a single suitcase and the determination to create a life for himself in Canada
Domenic Molinaro has put up more than 50 buildings in Ontario – he is the developer who lined Lakeshore Road with condominiums and is in the process of building Paradigm – a five structure project that will house 2000 people steps away from the Burlington GO station.
Spencers Landing; the Strata and the Brock are Molinaro projects clustered around Maple Avenue.
And he isn’t finished yet.
Thursday evening Domenic will be feted by his colleagues and peers at the Distinguished Entrepreneur event being hosted by the Burlington Chamber of Commerce at the Performing Arts Centre.
Vince Molinaro will speak for his Father as son Robert and daughters MaryLou and Antonella and wife Lina listen proudly.
It is civic recognition well deserved by a man with a limited education but the grit and guts to keep doing what he knew he could achieve.
Burlington is better for his efforts.
