Support for Ukrainians

Durham Region has done a lot to support Ukrainian refugees coming into the community. However, there is still more to be done to help those in need. Here is Brendan Robins on how Durham can continue to support Ukraine and local Ukrainians.

Connections

For those new to Canada, the process of making connections to the larger community here can be difficult. Chris Schnedler spoke to representatives of the Ukrainian-Canadian community about these changes.

Food Drive

The Ukrainian Christmas event on December 18th will include gifts for children and a food drive for adults.

Christmas

Many Ukrainian refugees are preparing to navigate the Christmas season in a place they are not used to calling home. Clearly, there is a need for help in the community of Durham. Noah Kroeker had the chance to speak with Rachel Rohovska and Maria Pitolia to gain insight during the Voices in Durham event.
