The EALA (Ethnikos Association of Latakia-Antaradus) is a Canadian, non-profit organization. It serves as the advocacy body of the Alawite and Rūm (Greek) communities in Canada. Ethnikos - meaning "of a nation"-reflects our vision: that Rūm, Alawite and Greek together form a single nation, bound by coastal roots, history and values. Dedicated to protecting our people and the traditions that unite us.
