Our mission is to preserve and promote Greek heritage while supporting inclusivity
within Canada’s multicultural landscape. We work to empower future generations of
Greek Canadians, encouraging them to embrace their identity, pursue opportunities,
and contribute to Canadian society.
We are an organization that fosters education, communication, and cooperation between Hellenic Canadians and other ethnic groups, and promotes the development of just and equitable policies and legislation concerning all citizens. The Congress encourages and promotes the retention and development of Hellenism in British Columbia within the multicultural context of Canada.
