On Saturday, January, 26th, our Society hosted another successful Malanka. The evening included a delicious buffet dinner enjoyed by all.  We were entertained by the wonderful Prairie Band before dinner and later by the fabulous S-Bahn as we danced away the night to a great variety of music.  After dinner, we were entertained by the Dovbush Ukrainian Dancers of Vancouver and Kvitka Ukrainian Dancers of Surrey.   Both dance ensembles provided our guests with a fabulous floor show.

We are also very grateful to Dixon Mitchell Investment Counsel for their generous donation and sponsorship of Malanka 2019. With its financial support, we are providing our guests with a fabulous evening of entertainment. Thanks so much Dixon Mitchell for your support!
