Vyshyvanka Day: Ukrainian Flag Raising

Vyshyvanka (traditional Ukrainian embroidered shirt) is our spiritual armour as we’re defending our freedom, our dignity, and the values of the free world.   

This is an important opportunity to gather together to commemorate the sacrifices of those who have fought for Ukraine in the ongoing war.   

Are you a Ukrainian, or Canadian-Ukrainian, or have you received a Vyshyvanka as a special gift? Wear your embroidered shirt with pride and honour on May 16th to let your Canadian colleagues, neighbours, and friends know what Vyshyvanka is, what is symbolizes and that Vyshyvanka unites people (not only Ukrainians) wherever we live and whatever the challenges we face.
