Greek communities and other hellenic organizations

Montreal has the second largest Greek community in Canada after Toronto. The Hellenic Community of Montreal, the oldest Greek organization in Canada, represents all Greeks in the vacinity. Many Greeks live in the suburb of Laval, as well. There is a large number of Greek ethnocultural associations in the Province. The local Greek media are very active, with many Greek-language radio and tv programs, and newspapers. The Community in Montreal also operates École Primaire Socrates, a day-time Elementary school where Greek language, history and culture are taught as part of the regular curriculum. Many generations of Greek Montrealites have been educated there. Other Communities and Greek Orthodox parishes exist on the South Shore of Montreal, West Island, Quebec City, and other cities.
