Barry July 8, 2021 One thing that hadn’t changed at this year’s Hellenic Summer Festival: There was still plenty of souvlaki prepared by a crew of devoted kitchen volunteers. (Photo: Martin C. Barry, Newsfirst Multimedia) Partyers hold a muted post-Covid celebration of Greek roots and heritage While the crowd count was a lot lower than usual and there was no Canada Day cake, hundreds of people with Greek cultural roots did at least get out for three days last weekend to attend the annual Hellenic Summer Festival at Holy Cross Church in Chomedey, after a one-year hiatus because of the COVID-19 pandemic. And although there were no Greek folk dancers or singers ~own in from Greece this year because of some ongoing sanitary restrictions, there was still lots of charcoal-broiled souvlaki and Hellenic music piped in from Greece on a live web connection. Covid rules followed As well, many of Laval’s elected o{cials, election candidates and other dignitaries turned up for a special event on Saturday evening – bearing in mind perhaps that 2021 is an election year for municipal politicians. https://www.lavalnews.ca/hundreds-attend-a-scaled-down-laval-hellenc-summer-festval/ 1/4 Hundreds attend a scaled-down Laval Hellenc Summer Festval | The Laval News From the left, Hellenic Community of Greater Montreal president Andy Crilis, Nick Katalifos and Chomedey MNA Guy Ouellette are seen here with the National Assembly Medal presented by Ouellette to Katalifos at the Laval Hellenic Summer Festival.

    LETTER IN SUPPORT OF THE ROHINGYA PEOPLE BY E-MAIL February 8 2021 The Hon. Marc Garneau Minister of Foreign Affairs 125 Sussex Drive Ottawa, Ontario, Canada K1A 0G2 Dear Minister Garneau, We, the undersigned Senators, elected officials at the provincial and municipal levels and civil society leaders, write today to urge Canada to rapidly renew its crucial humanitarian support of the over one million Rohingya refugees who have fled to Bangladesh. We note that the aid approved in the spring of 2018 expires soon. The situation has grown more urgent in the last days. The coup in Myanmar is a major setback on the road toward democracy in that country, threatening the Rohingya still within the country’s borders and making the possibility of a political settlement allowing the voluntary return, in safety and dignity, of the nearly 1.2 million Rohingya now in Bangladesh close to impossible. Canada’s financial aid provides vital support and services to the refugees. Our commitment expires in only a few months and no announcement has been made toward its renewal. Moreover, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees indicates that there is a looming financial crunch that will oblige the cancellation of many of the most basic services to the refugees in the months to come. Bangladesh, the host country, does not have the financial capacity to make up the shortfall. The coup has made it even more vital for the international community to provide stable and predictable funding for the Rohingya refugees. We urge Canada to set an example and by its leadership convince the international community that the Rohingya people cannot be abandoned.
