Victoria’s Portuguese and Brazilian connections
Victoria, British Columbia has a Portuguese-Canadian community with roots reaching back to 1955, when the first Portuguese immigrants arrived from mainland Portugal, followed a year later by men from São Miguel in the Azores. The community built the Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Parish on Elk Lake Drive; it was registered with the Diocese of Victoria in 1982, and its church still hosts the community’s May and October feasts. A direct Brazilian connection runs through the parish’s history: it was led at registration by Father Arduino Antonello, who came from Brazil to serve the community. Victoria is also the birthplace of Grammy- and Latin Grammy-winning singer Nelly Furtado (born 1978), whose parents were from the Azores and who began singing in Portuguese at age four. For learners, this heritage offers natural material for conversation practice - festival and food vocabulary from the community feasts, and Portuguese-language songs to sing along to. The parish’s own history and Nelly Furtado’s biography are good starting points.
