Community Corner
New year, new beginnings! If you've ever been curious about learning Ukrainian, why not start your journey today!

The Ukrainian Cultural Center will be offering biweekly Ukrainian language classes for beginners. They're perfect for students who might be short on both time and money. Many of our members have taken classes with the center and can attest to the quality and the sense of community the Ukrainian classes bring.

(Not to mention the UVicUSS has donated Ukrainian textbooks, available for free from the Ukrainian Cultural Center library 😉)

For more information on scheduling and pricing, email yaremyn.k@gmail.com
 
Volunteer Opportunity
Come pinch perogies at the Ukrainian Cultural Center! 🥟🥟

The Ukrainian Cultural Center is looking for new volunteers to help pinch perogies for their monthly Ukrainian Supper. This is a great way to meet the community and hear stories from our very own babas! 
Pinchers meet once a month from 10am-2pm.
For more info, email their office or if you'd like to go as a group, send us a message here.
