In the early 1900's only a few Greeks could be found in Alberta. In the mid 1920's their numbers started to grow and by the late 1970's the population was at about 500 Greeks. The Hellenic Canadian Community of Edmonton and Region was established in late 1982. Its purpose is to house a Greek Language Heritage School, to carry on artistic and cultural functions and to promote the Hellenic culture as part of the Canadian heritage. Some important dates follow: October 30, 1982 Decision for the creation of the Hellenic Community. December 30, 1982 Creation of Our Community. The Community Centre (about 500 m�) is located on the 2nd floor of a building at 10605-101 St. March 15, 1985 Community buys its present Home on 10450-116 St. September 2, 1985 The Heritage Language School opens its doors to 128 students. 1990-1998 With a lot of work, money, and plans of Architect R.Bennett, our Centre is transformed into a Greek Megaron.
