KYIV PAVILION RECEIVES UCFTS SUPPORT
August 4, 2002
Winnipeg, Manitoba – The Ukrainian Canadian Foundation
of Taras Shevchenko (UCFTS) today announced grant funding
in the amount of $2,500 towards the Kyiv Pavilion, part of
Winnipeg’s Folkorama being held from August 4-17, 2002.
For over 30 years the people of Winnipeg have gathered together
in August to celebrate the ethnic diversity which makes up
this vibrant community. This two-weeks of fun and excitement
showcases the multicultural richness of the community in the
areas of culture, dance, music, food and art. Over 40 pavilions
are established for this yearly event.
Since the inception of this festival of nations, the Ukrainian
Canadian Congress – Manitoba Provincial Council, has
been a leading player. The Kyiv Pavilion brings together all
aspects of the community to showcase the talent which lies
within the Ukrainian community in Winnipeg, Manitoba and Canada.
The highlight of each Folklorama, the Pavilion’s dedicated
team of volunteers ensures that each guest receives a warm
welcome and traditional Ukrainian hospitality.
“The UCFTS is pleased to support community ventures
such as Kyiv Pavilion,” said UCFTS President Andrew
Hladyshevsky, Q.C. “These types of opportunities, based
upon active community support, showcase the rich multicultural
fabric of Canada and why we are the best country to live,
work and raise a family.”
