AHEPA supports the ideals of Hellenism Education Philanthropy Family Ancient Greece Civic Responsibility
Hellenism
An important component of AHEPA’s mission is to create an awareness of the principles of Hellenism to society. These principles include a commitment to humanity, freedom, and democracy.
Education
The scholarship program at the and local national level is administered by the AHEPA National Educational Foundation. It offers scholarships to a wide variety of students. Recipients are: traditional and non-traditional students; and high school seniors, college and post-graduate students who are looking to become tomorrow’s leaders.
Philanthropy
Philanthropy and volunteerism have been pillars of strength for AHEPA. From natural disaster relief to raising funds for the elimination of life-threatening diseases to making significant contributions to their local neighborhoods, AHEPA is at the forefront of charitable giving.
Civic Responsibility
AHEPA grassroots has a strong voice. With chapters in every major metropolitan city and in rural areas of North America, AHEPA communicates the positions of the Greek-American community to elected representatives at all levels of government, as well as to diplomatic leaders. AHEPA constituents are also interested in domestic policy areas affecting the philanthropic, civic, and community service-based programs in which they are involved.
Family and Individual Excellence
What makes AHEPA unique from other organizations is the creation of the AHEPA Family. Together with three affiliated organizations, the AHEPA Family works as a unit toward the fulfillment of a common mission. Combined, the four organizations have contributed well over a billion dollars to projects throughout their history.
Ideals of Ancient Greece
AHEPA members are proud of the contributions the ancient Greeks gifted to Western Civilization. As Americans, they share many of the values put forth by them: civic responsibility, philanthropy, education, family and individual excellence, and the ideals of democracy. This is the essence of their heritage. This is the core of the AHEPA mission.
AHEPA members come together to share in their support for one another and to work together in their communities.
AHEPA Montreal gives me the opportunity to give back to my community and connect with the long history of civic responsibility, philanthropy, support for scholarships and love of Hellenism. We come together to see how we can share and help, not to find personal gain.
Coming together and sharing in the things we support with those who are like minded. Doing and NOT being served is what I look for in AHEPA

The hero of the Battle of Navarino
The Greek War of Independence and the Battle of Navarino
In December 1826 Codrington was appointed Commander-in-Chief, Mediterranean Fleet and sailed on 1st February 1827. From that date until his recall on 21 June 1828 he was engaged in the arduous duties imposed on him by the Greek War of Independence, which had led to anarchy in occupied Greece and surrounding areas. His orders were to enforce a peaceful solution on the situation in Greece, but Codrington was not known for his diplomacy, and on 20 October 1827 he destroyed the Turkish and Egyptian fleet at the Battle of Navarino while in command of a combined British, French and Russian fleet.
After the battle Codrington went to Malta to refit his ships. He remained there till May 1828, when he sailed to join his French and Russian colleagues on the coast of the Morea. They endeavoured to enforce the evacuation of the peninsula by Ibrahim Pasha peacefully. The Pasha made diplomatic difficulties, which came in the form of continuous genocide against the Greeks of Morea (modern day Peloponesos) who were to be replaced with Muslims from Africa and on 25 July the three admirals agreed that Codrington should go to Alexandria to obtain Ibrahim’s recall by his father Mehemet Ali.
Codrington had heard on 22 June of his own supersession, but, as his successor had not arrived, he carried out the arrangement made on 25 July, and his presence at Alexandria led to the treaty of the 6 August 1828, by which the evacuation of the Morea was settled. His services were recognised by the grant of the Grand Cross of the Bath, but there is no doubt that the British government was embarrassed by his heavy-handed gunboat diplomacy and not too impressed by the further weakening of Russia’s main opponent, the Ottomans.

The meander motif took its name from the river Meander, a river with many twists, mentioned by Homer in Iliad.
Meandros (Μίανδρος)
The meander motif took its name from the river Meander, a river with many twists, mentioned by Homer in Iliad. Meander was the most important symbol in Ancient Greece, symbolizing infinity or the eternal flow of things. Many temples and objects were decorated with this motif, and it is considered that there is a connection with the Cretan labyrinth. Meander symbolizes as well the bonds of friendship, of love and devotion and that’s the reason it’s often given as marriage gift.
