       Under sunny blue skies that hinted an air of spring, thousands lined
       both sides of Jean-Talon Street waving blue and white flags Sunday March
       25 to remember the day Greeks revolted towards becoming an independent
       country from the Ottoman Empire in 1821.
       
       This annual celebration of Hellenic identity, though which all
       Hellenes express and promote their culture and achievements to
       the world, commemorates the 197th anniversary of Greece’s
       independence after 400 years of Turkish Ottoman rule, and also is
       a day of Greek-Canadian pride.
       
       The Greek Independence Day Parade has become a Montreal City traditional
       event for more than 40 years that offers an afternoon of Hellenic
       culture, pride and inspiration for all ages.
