Members of the Ukrainian Heritage Museum in Canora dressed for the occasion of recognizing the International Vyshyvanka Day on May 19. Promoted by the Ukrainian Canadian Congress, it was described as a “wonderful opportunity for Ukrainians, those of Ukrainian heritage and friends of Ukraine around the world, to wear a vyshyvanka (embroidered shirt) to demonstrate their pride in Ukrainian culture and heritage and to show solidarity with the people of Ukraine.” Canada was one of about 50 countries around the world in which Ukrainians took part in the International Vysyvanka Day.
