Ukrainian Immigrants To Be Celebrated Throughout Saskatchewan In 2016

IANS, 06 Jan, 2016 11:53 AM
    REGINA — The Saskatchewan government says 2016 will be marked as the Year of Ukrainians in the province.
     
    The declaration is to acknowledge the 125th anniversary of the first wave of Ukrainian immigration to Canada and Saskatchewan.
     
    Premier Brad Wall says more than 13 per cent of provincial residents trace their ancestry back to Ukraine.
     
    He says the contribution to the province made by the Ukrainian community has been important, both from a cultural and economic perspective.
     
    Wall says the year will be filled with events to commemorate the anniversary, including Regina hosting the 25th Triennial Congress of Ukrainian Canadians in September.
