Calgary Greek Festival Gives Back During Flood Crisis

CALGARY, ALBERTA, CANADA (June 21, 2013) – The Hellenic Society of Calgary wishes to advise that it is now providing FREE admission and a complimentary meal for all families attending, especially those who have been affected by the floods in the Calgary area.

“Calgarians have always been so supportive of our community so in this time of need, it’s our turn to give back. Boardwalk Rental Communities, along with the Greek Community of Calgary and its sponsors have pooled efforts and secured additional emergency funding in order to facilitate this humanitarian effort,” says Festival Co-Chair Constantine Issakidis.

The Greek Festival is located at the Hellenic Cultural Centre, 1 Tamarac Crescent SW in the Spruce Cliff area, across from Shaganappi Golf Course.

The Festival will run Friday, June 21 from noon-10 pm; Saturday, June 22 from 11 am -10 pm and Sunday, June 23 from 11 am- 8 pm.
