Please join us for a Ukrainian meal and cultural presentation to demonstrate solidarity with Ukraine and the Ukrainian people and to raise funds to support the ongoing humanitarian relief efforts in the wake of the unjustified invasion of Ukraine by Vladimir Putin and the Russian army.

The cost to attend is free but guests will be encourage to donate to a charitable organisation supporting the relief effort in Ukraine - links to donate found at the bottom of this message.

This event is being hosted by alumni of the 2008-2009 Canada World Youth volunteer group, which was a group of ten Canadian and ten Ukrainian youth aged 18-21 who spent three months in Ostroh, Ukraine and three months in Port Alberni volunteering with local community organisations and participating a program of cross cultural learning.

If you would like to come, please register so we can prepare the appropriate amount of food. BC Law requires the organisers to check proof of vaccination at the door prior to admission.
