As Carpathian legend has it, Oleksa Dovbush was a heroic outlaw with excellent fighting skills and a gift to predict the future. He was left an orphan as a small boy after a local lord murdered Oleksa’s mother. After spending his childhood in exile in the mountains, he returned as a grown man to avenge his mother’s death. Oleksa gathered followers to begin a crusade against the lord, but destiny made other plans for him. Legends of Carpathians was released in Ukraine on March 29, 2018, and has been screened in the United States and Great Britain.

On January 13, 2018, we once again hosted a very successful Malanka. The sold out event featured fabulous entertainment from the Praire Band, S-Bahn Band, Dovbush Ukrainian Dancers of Vancouver and the Kvitka Ukrainian Dancers of Surrey. As always, the guests enjoyed appetizers, a delicious buffet dinner followed by dessert.
Many thanks to our very generous donation and sponsorship of Malanka 2018 – Dixon Mitchell Investment Counsel. We very much appreciate their financial support.
We look forward to seeing you at next year’s Malanka on Saturday, January, 12th, 2019.
