We had a wonderful response to our call out for donations to the North Shore Firefighters. A BIG THANK YOU to the many who have brought bags and bags of winter clothing and blankets to the hall these past three days. We appreciate it, and today we were able to deliver two carloads to the North Shore.
One 40-foot container has been filled and was shipped out today to help the people of Ukraine struggling with no heat or electricity. The North Shore Firefighters are now working on filling a second container. We are grateful for their efforts. You can still help! North Shore Firefighters are also accepting financial donations to cover the cost of shipping via the DNV Fire Charity or Defend Ukraine Foundation websites. Tax receipts will be provided.
We continue to have Saturday sales from 10:00 – 2:00 pm.

Many displaced Ukrainians are now arriving and are needing temporary accommodation until they find something more permanent. At this moment, we do not have enough community offers to accommodate all the new arrivals.
Please let us know if you have any questions about the process or we can also help connect you to our contacts who are working on placing new immigrants with host families.
Presented by the Royal BC Museum and Archives in partnership with the Ukrainian Canadian Congress and Honorary Consulate of Ukraine in Vancouver, Canada, Here We Are! celebrates Ukrainian Canadian history, cultures, and arts from community perspectives.
This travelling exhibit recognizes the impact of Ukrainian Canadians to life in Canada and how their fight against discrimination, advocacy and activism for justice, and wide-ranging contributions have played a key role in shaping Canada.
This exhibit represents the partners’ joint efforts to honour Ukrainian Canadians during a particularly challenging time since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, and our unity in standing with Ukraine and Ukrainian Canadians.
