4th Annual Toronto Economic Forum & THI Canada Fundraiser Dinner – The Hellenic Initiative Canada

4th Annual Toronto Economic Forum & THI Canada Fundraiser Dinner

As one of the world’s most globally engaged nations, Canada—and Toronto in particular—offers a dynamic setting shaped by its diverse diasporas. The Greek-Canadian community exemplifies this influence, playing a vital role in the city’s social, economic, and political life. Leveraging our broad Greek network across sectors, we are uniquely positioned to bring the region’s authentic voice to Canadian audiences.

  • Be part of an institution: Over the past three editions, the Forum has established itself as a platform for meaningful dialogue and impactful collaboration.

  • Engage with thought leaders: Hear directly from top decision-makers and industry experts.

  • Network with influence: Connect with leaders shaping economic policy and business growth in Canada and Greece.

Following the Forum, we invite you to the Oloi Mazi Gala Dinner, an evening that blends purpose with elegance. Guests will gather at the iconic Fairmont Royal York Hotel in downtown Toronto for a night of fine dining, high-level networking, and meaningful impact. Guests will enjoy a refined dining experience, thought-provoking conversations, and unparalleled networking opportunities, all in celebration of our shared commitment to driving meaningful impact where it is needed most. The Oloi Mazi Gala will bring together influential figures from the Greek-Canadian community, distinguished keynote speakers, and leaders from business, culture, and philanthropy.
