    Peter Dalla Riva Eric Prins & Philip Pasma Prof. Byl Ped 201 March 30, 2011 Peter Dalla Riva Peter Dalla Riva was an exceptional football player, playing as a tight end for the Montreal Alouettes in the Canadian Football League (CFL) for 14 years. Though born in Italy, Dalla Riva spent most of his childhood in Hamilton, Ontario, and this is where he was first introduced to football. Dalla Riva says, “I lived three blocks from Ivor Wynne Stadiumand football was always in my blood.”1 It was in the Hamilton area that Dalla Riva worked and played football in the junior and senior leagues. Many people around Hamilton are familiar with Dalla Riva and his family, and are proud of his accomplishments. Hamilton was the first real home that Dalla Riva remembered, and was the place that started Dalla Riva in football. People who live in Hamilton can be inspired by his skills in football and can inspire people to play football. Dalla Riva`s career has played a part in the popularity of the sport in Hamilton. Peter Dalla Riva was born on December 11, 1946 in Treviso, Italy.2 Dalla Riva was the oldest of five children and at the age of seven he and his family moved to Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.3 Dalla Riva’s family was poor and at times his father struggled to earn enough money to properly provide for his family. So at the age of 16 Dalla Riva quit school and decided to work at Stelco, a steel mill in Hamilton. This job helped him earn the money needed to provide for his family.

    <:;an..adi J~mnn Number 162 / Janua r y 1965 Cereal box coupons and soap package enclosures do not general­ ly excite much enthusiasm from the editor of 'Canadian Rail', but we must admit we are looking forward with some eagerness to comp­ leting our collection of RAILWAY MUGS currently being distribut e d by the Quaker Oats Company, in their specially-marked packages of Quaker Oats. This series of twelve hot chocolate mugs depicts the develop - ment of the steam locomotive in Canada from the 0-6-0 "Samson", to the CPR 2-10-4 #8000. The mugs are being offered by the Quaker Oats Company of Cana­ da to salute Canada's Centennial, and the part played by the rail­ ways and their steam locomotives in furthering the pro ~ ress of the nation. Each cup pictures an authentic locomotive design -- one shows a Canadian Northern 2-8-0, a type of locomotive that made a major contribution to the country's prairie economy by moving grain from the Western provinces to the Lakehead -- another shows one of the Canadian Pacific's ubiquitous D-10 engines. There are 12 different locomotives in the series - each a col­ lector's item. The reproductions are precisely etched in decora­ tive colours and trimmed with 22k gold.
