Despite the freezing cold weather, a large group of supporters came out to the Stand With Ukraine rally held in front of Dauphin City Hall last night.
The rally began with a prayer service led by Father Brent Kuzyk from St. George's Ukrainian Orthodox Church, and Father Oleg Bodnarski from the Ukrainian Catholic Church of the Resurrection.
After the prayers, highly emotional speeches about the situation in Ukraine were given by event organizers and local Government Officials, including the MP for Dauphin - Swan River - Neepawa, Dan Mazier, and Dauphin Mayor Christian Laughland. Messages of concern from MLA Brad Michaleski, and Manitoba NDP leader Wab Kinew were also relayed.
The support rally ended with the singing of the Ukrainian National Anthem by all in attendance. If you'd like to donate to help those in Ukraine, you can do so here.
