An Immigration Journey - From the Carpathian Mountains to Canada

Heart of the City Festival 2020

Libby Griffin, a first generation Ukrainian Canadian, shares her heartfelt stories and archival photos of immigrating to the prairies.

UPDATE ON NOVEMBER 4th: THIS EVENT WILL NO LONGER BE ON ZOOM; IT WILL BE LIVESTREAMED! Special guests will still gather on Zoom, but audience members will be watching and interacting through livestream + livestream chat. The Association of United Ukrainian Canadians’ Hall has been at 805 East Pender Street for 92 years. To mark this long standing presence in Strathcona, Libby Griffin will present a lecture, previously recorded, that outlines the historical, political and economic conditions both in Ukraine and Canada that precipitated the immigration of Ukrainians to Canada. She weaves her own personal experiences as a first generation Ukrainian Canadian growing up on the prairies into her presentation. Although her story is personal, it is not unique. Thousands of Ukrainians settled on the prairies and endured the experiences and hardships that Libby’s family did. Join us for this presentation and Q&amp;A!<ul><li>Livestream online on our website</li><li>Free / donation appreciated</li></ul>
