This year, for the first time on the Rideau Canal in Ottawa, the world’s longest skating rink, a 30-meter Ukrainian flag was unfurled to commemorate Ukraine Unity Day, and Ukrainians came together to sing the national anthem of Ukraine.
Additionally, activists from the Ukrainian community, together with the Embassy of Ukraine in Canada, formed a Unity Chain on the Laurier Avenue Bridge, symbolizing the unity of our people even far from home.
We sincerely thank the event organizers – the Ukrainian Canadian Congress - Ottawa Branch, Café Ukraine Ottawa, and the UOttawa Ukrainian Students' Club – for their solidarity and inspiration. A special thank you goes to everyone who joined and made this day truly unforgettable.
Ukraine’s Unity Day is a symbol of our strength and solidarity. Despite Russian aggression, Ukrainians stand together and remind the world of the resilience of our nation.
Let’s stand by each other – let’s support one another.
Unity is our strength!
Happy Ukraine Unity Day!
