Dear UCC friends
It’s my pleasure to welcome you to the UCC’s April Canada bulletin. In Ukrainian, the month of April is Kviten’, the month of flowers. I hope that the snow is melting quickly wherever you are so that the spring flowers arrive soon!
Easter is just around the corner. This year we’ve seen so many communities coming together to share the art of pysanky with newcomers and indeed all Canadians. Some of my favourite Easter memories are from spending time with my Baba and Dido in their kitchen as they baked dozens of paskas of all sizes to share with friends and family.
As we gather with our families and friends to celebrate Easter this month, we pray for victory for Ukraine – and we remember the courageous Ukrainian Armed Forces defending Ukraine from Russia’s genocidal aggression. We thank everyone in communities from coast to coast, who are working hard to welcome Ukrainians displaced by Russia’s war. We are very grateful for the strong support by Canadians and inspired and awed by the bravery and strength of the Ukrainian people.
Слава Україні! Героям Слава!
Glory to Ukraine! Glory to Her Heroes!
