Preserving culture: Pysanka Workshops bring new life to Ottawa’s Ukrainians
Canada is home to the largest Ukrainian diaspora in the world, one which strives to preserve its cultural and national identity. This happens through the efforts of Ukrainian and Canadian volunteers. Workshops for Ukrainian Easter egg painting at the Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral in Ottawa show how ordinary people are changing the community for the better – they have organized “Pysanka” (meaning egg-painting) workshops to support Ukrainian culture during the Russian invasion.
Visit by Their Royal Highnesses The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall as part of the Royal Tour to mark the celebration of the Platinum Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
On 18 May 2022, the Ukrainian community in Ottawa was honoured with the visit of Their Royal Highnesses The Prince of Wales* and The Duchess of Cornwall. This visit was part of their three-day royal tour to Canada to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee of the reign of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and to show their support for war-ravaged Ukraine. They had specifically requested to meet with a Ukrainian community during this royal tour. This visit attracted international media to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral in Ottawa, reflecting the significant impact the war on Ukraine has had on Ukrainian communities in Ottawa, Canada and worldwide.
Ukraine: Voices from Ottawa — Pysanky workshops "give some hope for peace"
In the 29 March 2022 edition of the Ottawa Citizen newspaper, there was an interview with our church member, Tamara Rudenko-Charalambij, who organized 15 pysanka workshops in our church hall, organized and sold many pysanka making kits, and rekindled the interest in the art of pysanka writing in our community and in Ottawa. All the proceeds from the pysanka workshops and the pysanka-making kits will be used to support humanitarian relief in Ukraine.
