Friends of Canada hosted a Canadian table at Thessaloniki’s annual, ethnic, Food-for-Good Festival at 20.30 on Sunday, June 5, 2016, at Plaz Aretsou, Kalamaria, Thessaloniki. Volunteer Janet Koniordos coordinated the FoC stand by organising the cooking and stand service by several dedicated FoC volunteers. Approximately forty countries participated in the event run by International Women’s Organisation of Greece’s (Iwog) and the Women from Five Continents.
All proceeds from the event went to three institutions: ‘Krikos Zois’ (the Society of Friends of patients with Inherited Metabolic Diseases), ‘Chrysalida’ (a domicile which is a branch of the Psychiatric Hospital Thessaloniki) and ‘To Spiti tis Kardias’ (Frere Gerard Montane).
