In Ottawa, Events Have Begun to Commemorate the 91st Anniversary of the Holodomor of 1932-1933 in Canada

One of the most painful and tragic chapters in Ukraine's history is being remembered.

Together with members of all parties in the Canadian Parliament, diplomats, and the Ukrainian community, we gathered on Parliament Hill to honor the millions of Ukrainians who became innocent victims of the horrific genocide orchestrated by Stalin’s regime. This crime was not just a tragedy but a deliberate attempt to destroy Ukrainians as a nation, to extinguish their spirit and future.

The Ambassador of Ukraine to Canada, Yuliya Kovaliv, addressed those present, reminding them of the inhuman suffering endured by Ukrainians during the Holodomor. In her speech, she drew painful yet important parallels with today: the ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine is a continuation of unpunished evil that seeks to take away our freedom, independence, and right to live.

This tragedy serves as a stark reminder of the importance of remembering, to prevent such atrocities from happening again in the future.

Canada has played a crucial role in recognizing the Holodomor as genocide against the Ukrainian people.
The first monument in the world dedicated to the victims of the Holodomor was erected in Edmonton.
In the province of Ontario, school programs have been introduced to educate students about the Holodomor tragedy.

We remember. We honor. We fight. Eternal memory to the millions of innocent victims of the Holodomor of 1932-1933.
