365 Days of Resistance - UCC Calgary - February 24, 2023
On February 24, 2023, UCC Calgary organized and marked 365 Days of Resistance since the russian federation began its fully fledged invasion and genocidal war in Ukraine. We did not anticipate that close to 1,000 would attend. We are greatly moved by your support, and together we move closer to victory! Разом до Перемоги!
We sincerely thank MP Tom Kmiec, Minister of Justice Tyler Shandro, and Mayor Jyoti Gondek for speaking at this event, as well as all elected officials and dignitaries present, including MP Jasraj Singh Hallan, MP Pat Kelly, MP Greg McLean, MLA Ric McIver, MLA Rebecca Schulz, Andre Chabot, Terry Wong, Courtney Walcott, British Consul General in Calgary Jonathan Turner, Deputy Consul General Tomohiro Nakagaki of the Consulate-General of Japan in Calgary, Calgary Board of Education Trustee Susan Vukadinovic, Calgary Catholic School District Trustees Cathie Williams, Lorie Iovinelli, Shannon Cook, and Mary Martin, and CCSD Chief Superintendent Bryan Szumlas, as well as Constable Youssef Abbas and Calgary Police Service for keeping the event and our community safe. We thank you for your unwavering solidarity and for standing shoulder to shoulder with us! We also thank the talented Gülnar Najafova for serving as an emcee, Michael Ilnycky for serving as our Dignitary Liaison, and our inspiring speaker Olena Muravchenko, and our keynote speaker Bohdan Romaniuk.
