The unprovoked invasion of Ukraine by russia has caused an unprecedented emigration from Ukraine to Canada. Tens of thousands newcomers have fled to find safety from the horrors of war.
The Ukrainian National Federation - Toronto Branch has implemented a number of programs for our newcomers, namely a summer day program (Soniashnyk), after school and school break programs, English as a Second Language classes, and most importantly Support and Wellness programs.
In 2022, we successfully held a 7 week retreat for mostly mothers and their children at our wonderful Camp Sokil, on the shores of Lake Simcoe in Hawkestone, Ontario. Families spent 5 sleep-over days and nights, were allowed to enjoy and relax with various activities, and if they wished spoke with our volunteer wellness professionals. The UNF Toronto Branch was very fortunate to have received funding for these programs.
The funding was time limited and we are now instituting a Campaign through CanadaHelps to assist us in providing the same retreat for our newcomers in 2023.
Please consider a donation to assist a family from Ukraine - the cost for a family of 3 for a week is around $700. Your generous donation will ensure that these families will experience Canada and nature at its best. Our siincere thanks
