Archbishop of Canada Apostolos has undertaken a series of pastoral visits across Montreal and Toronto, engaging with the Greek diaspora and community leaders.

In Montreal, the Archbishop participated in celebrations marking the 120th anniversary of the Greek Community of Greater Montreal and the National Day of October 28th. During his visit, he met with community officials and toured the ‘Socrates–Demosthenes’ Greek school, which serves 1,000 students. He emphasized the importance of preserving the Greek language through educational materials tailored to the needs of children in the diaspora.

In Toronto, the Archbishop attended the ‘All Together’ charity dinner organized by the Hellenic Initiative, which focused on humanitarian solidarity. The event was attended by various diplomats, including the Canadian Ambassador to Greece and Greek government ministers. Additionally, the Archbishop hosted a dinner for eighteen Archons of the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Canada. Discussions during these gatherings centered on maintaining Greek identity, the role of the Church, and the ongoing work of the clergy in supporting the community.
