Marching Together: Hellenic Heritage Month and the Canadian Mosaic

Engaging friends and neighbours through a lecture on Toronto’s Greektown or a rebetiko performance prompts reciprocal obligations. Sharing dolmades leads to trying a dosa. A hasapiko dance lesson begets a Haida basket-weaving workshop. These exchanges strengthen our attachment to our diverse society. And in learning about our similarities and differences, we nurture a sense of belonging to a shared Canada, blurring the contours of our vibrant mosaic.
