The Dauphin Active Living Centre made a $5000 donation to the Parkland Ukrainian Family Fund. The money was raised during a Perogy Dinner Fundraiser at the end of March.
With this donation, the Parkland Ukrainian Family Fund has officially raised over $100,000. The Parkland Ukrainian Family Fund is now ready to accept Ukrainian families into our community, according to Jim Perchaluk, President of the Ukrainian Folk Arts Centre, and a trustee for the Fund.
We have shared information about our project with our federal and provincial governments, along with the Ukrainian Canadian Congress, requesting their assistance in providing us with the names and contact information of families from the war-stricken regions of Ukraine, who would be willing to relocate to our area with the intentions of settling permanently.
You can get more information about the Fund, by calling Larry at 204-648-5904, or Karen at 204-648-3567.
