On March 8, a meeting of the Alberta Ukrainian community with the Ambassador of Ukraine to Canada, Andriy Plakhotniuk, took place at the Ukrainian Youth Unity Complex in Edmonton. The event was organized by the UCC-APC and the UCC – Edmonton as part of the Ambassador’s series of visits across Canadian provinces, with Alberta being the first stop.

Consul of Ukraine in Edmonton, Viktoriia Bozhko, took part in the meeting and participated in the question-and-answer session.

The gathering brought together representatives of Ukrainian community organizations, youth organizations, and active members of the community.

The program began with a brief meeting with representatives of community organizations. A representative of CYM welcomed the guests with the traditional Ukrainian bread and salt. The event also included a Land Acknowledgement and welcoming remarks by the President of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress – Alberta Provincial Council, Lydia Migus.

We thank the representatives of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada for the prayer and blessing of the event:
Metropolitan Ilarion and Fr. Cornell Zubritsky.

Ambassador Andriy Plakhotniuk addressed the community and shared his vision for further cooperation between Ukraine and the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada.

An important part of the event was a question-and-answer session moderated by Yulianna Voloshyna. Participants had the opportunity to ask questions and discuss issues important to the Ukrainian community in Alberta.

The meeting concluded with the singing of the National Anthem of Ukraine and a group photo.
We sincerely thank everyone who joined this meeting and continues to support the vibrant life of the Ukrainian community in Alberta.
