“Today, we celebrate Ukrainian-Canadian Heritage Day and recognize the lasting impact of Alberta’s Ukrainian community.
“For more than 130 years, Ukrainian-Albertans have helped build our province while also shaping its growth, prosperity and success. Alberta would not be the incredible place it is today without their contributions, and on behalf of our government, I want to extend my sincere gratitude for all they have done, and continue to do, for Alberta.”
- Muhammad Yaseen, Associate Minister of Multiculturalism
“From the first settlers on the Prairies to today's farmers, skilled tradespeople and entrepreneurs, Ukrainian-Canadians’ hard work, innovation and leadership have enriched Alberta in massive ways.
“On Ukrainian-Canadian Heritage Day, we honour the enduring history of the Ukrainian people and the lasting legacy they have built in communities across our province.
“In the face of ongoing aggression, we will continue to stand with the Ukrainian people in their pursuit of peace, freedom and sovereignty.
“Slava Ukraini!”
- Jackie Armstrong-Homeniuk, parliamentary secretary for settlement services and Ukrainian evacuees
