Ukrainian Community Development Summit in Halifax

🌟 What a weekend! 🌟

We were honoured to participate in the first-ever Ukrainian Community Development Summit in Halifax, hosted by our friends at the East Coast Ukrainian Association.

Meeting over 20 incredible Ukrainian organizations and initiatives from across Atlantic Canada was nothing short of inspiring. Together, we shared stories, challenges, ideas - and most importantly, vision for more stronger communities.

A heartfelt thank you to the organizers, speakers, and presenters for creating such a powerful space for connection, learning and growth. 

Special thanks to Senator Stan Kutcher for sharing the information on the critical projects you are tirelessly working on to support Ukraine; Ihor Michalchyshyn, CEO and Executive Director UCC National - Ukrainian Canadian Congress; Max Chauvin and Vanessa Burns for sharing insights on governance and grants;  Bohdana Bashuk, Executive Director of shevchenkofoundation, and Marianna Kaminska Project Manager at Canada-Ukraine Foundation for their valuable insights.

We return home energized and full of ideas - and we’re already looking forward to the next chapter!

💙💛 Let’s keep building, together.
