VICTORIA AND VANCOUVER ISLAND GREEK COMMUNITY

Thank you for visiting the Victoria and Vancouver Island Greek Community Society.  Our website is here to provide information about our community. 

 The Victoria and Vancouver Island Greek Community Society is a non-profit society that operates a community centre in Victoria, BC, Canada.  There is a rich history of Greeks in Victoria starting with the first Greek that visited Vancouver Island in 1592, Juan de Fuca (Ioannis Focas - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_de_Fuca).  Since that time, Greeks have been a part of life on Vancouver Island.

The Victoria and Vancouver Island Greek Community sponsors numerous community events with the most prominent being GREEKFEST which takes place every year for 6 days before and during the Labour Day long weekend.  The community also sponsors semi annual bake/food sales, a heritage festival, sports programs, its own soccer team, Hellas FC (www.hellas-fc.com), a Greek language school, Greek dancing classes as well as a Greek cooking program.  If you are interested in any more information regarding any of the things that the Greek Community is involved in, please don't hesitate to contact us!

Please feel free to browse and learn a little about our community and our heritage.
