Ukrainian Culture and Heritage Club honours people of Ukraine, prepares for fundraiser
To mark the National Day of Action for Ukraine, the Prince Albert and District Ukrainian Culture and Heritage Club honoured the victims of the war in Ukraine on Sunday.
During Sunday mass at St. George’s Ukrainian Catholic Church, members wore Vyshyvankas or embroidered shirts to support the people of Ukraine.
Member of the club, Taras Kachkowski explained the day originated in Ukraine and they wear the shirts as a symbol of unity, patriotism, and pride in the culture.
“This was started I want to say probably about 10 years ago in Ukraine and it kind of just spread to the Ukrainian community worldwide,” Kachkowski said.
