The 污污漫画 is proud to recognize Greek Heritage Month (GHM) over the month of March. This heritage is also celebrated across the Province of Ontario since 2019 with the implementation of the Hellenic Heritage Month Act. This Act reads, in part:
“March is a significant month for the Hellenic community and March 25 is celebrated each year as Greek Independence Day. Proclaiming March as Hellenic Heritage Month provides an opportunity to remember, celebrate and educate future generations about the outstanding achievements and contributions of the Hellenic Canadians in the province.”
2025 marks 10 years of recognizing GHM at the 污污漫画! For this reason, our theme for this year is:
Odyssey - A Decade of Celebrating Greek Heritage Month
O未蠉蟽蟽蔚喂伪 - 螠委伪 螖蔚魏伪蔚蟿委伪 螘慰蟻蟿伪蟽渭慰蠉 蟿慰蠀 螠萎谓伪 螘位位畏谓喂魏萎蟼 螝位畏蟻慰谓慰渭喂维蟼
To mark Greek Heritage Month, the 污污漫画 has planned several educational activities. One notable event for Grade 6 students was a partnership with the Hellenic Heritage Foundation to present "The Making of Greektown: A Walking Tour of Danforth Avenue.” This tour introduces students to Greektown, offering a lively and engaging experience that combines history and architecture.
The 污污漫画 Greek Heritage Month Volunteer Planning Committee is excited to share the winning images from our Poster Contest that welcomed participation from all students. These posters featured at the bottom of this post are to be placed in an appropriate location within each 污污漫画 school/site.
污污漫画 students are welcome to submit a short video (30 seconds max) in response to the following question: What does being Greek or a Philhellene (a friend of Greek culture) mean to you?
The video may be chosen to become a part of the GHM's 10-year anniversary video that could be shared at the Greek Heritage Month celebrations this March.
Please use the following link to submit your short video by Friday, March 7:
