The American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association
(AHEPA) is one of the largest Hellenic heritage groups in the world and is a major community service organization in North America. Included in the AHEPA Family is the women's group, Daughters of Penelope; the Sons of Pericles (the junior order of
AHEPA); and the Maids of Athena (the junior order of the Daughters of Penelope). While founded in the United States in 1922, the AHEPA organization has branched out to include chapters throughout Canada, Greece, Cyprus, New Zealand and Australia.
Canada's first chapter was established in Toronto, Ontario in 1928. Chapters then flourished to include involvement of chapters in Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia.
