Economy
The “Economy” category hosts interviews that refer to the economic activities and financial hardships faced by Greek and Cypriot immigrants in Canada. Interviewees recount experiences in diverse sectors, from restaurant work and cleaning to entrepreneurial ventures. The narratives also explore economic relations between Canada and Greece through remittances sent back home. Success stories, but also stories of struggle coexist in this category. Among others, narrators explain how economic pursuits created support networks in unfamiliar surroundings.
