UWO, UNF Edmonton Hold Easter Exhibit

NP-UN Western Bureau.

The Ukrainian Women’s Organization and the Ukrainian National Federation of Edmonton held a two-day Easter Exhibit featuring their history in photographs, March 17-18.

Entitled “Без минулого немає майбутнього” (Without the Past, There is no Future), the exhibit also displayed photographs of the Veteran’s organization “Стрілецька Громада”, the Ukrainian National Youth Federation and held a bake sale, Watercolour and Pysanka workshops, and concert. The Watercolour workshop was conducted by Valeriy Semenko.

“It wasn’t by accident that we chose this theme “Without the Past, There is no Future” – the history of UNF, UWO, Stirlets’ka Hromada and the UNYF in photographs,” explained UWO President Oleksandra Sribnyak in her Ukrainian-language address, March 18.

“In five days, on March 25, we will mark exactly 85 years from the founding of the Ukrainian Women’s Organization in our city and the Ukrainian National Federation celebrated its 25th anniversary on July 17 of last year. Just think, these organizations have existed in Edmonton almost a century,” she added.

Sribnyak noted that the dance groups Shumka and Cheremosh as well as the Dnipro Choir were started in the UNF building and during the 85 years of their existence, the UNF and UWO ran Ukrainian language schools and other cultural organization. Their current children’s theatre “Dzherelo” recently celebrated its 25th anniversary with the performance of “Жив-був пес” (Once Lived a Dog).

The March 18 concert featured a performance by the musical group “Ruta” which consists of former members of Dzherelo as well as the first public appearance of “Prolisky”, a new dance school opened by UNF in Edmonton’s West End.
