The new Ukrainian diaspora has brought knowledge, entrepreneurship, culture, and an unshakeable commitment to the values that define this country. The Canada-Ukraine Foundation proudly aligns with that belief. Behind every headline coming out of Ukraine is a human story, and behind every human story is a community that chose to show up.
