A small community in Northern Manitoba rose to the occasion when Ukraine's invasion started/ Quando la Russia ha invaso l'Ucraina, una piccola comunità del Manitoba si è subito attivata (EN/IT)
That was a great read! Very touching and made me smile when I read that some traditions maintained in Canada by Ukrainians have disappeared from their landscape. It’s as if, for immigrants, especially those who could not keep contact and communication frequent, or have news of their homeland readily available as is possible now, that the imperative to hold on to their memory of home was crucial to their emotional well being and survival; hence, the intense safeguarding of all traditions here in Canada, their new hime. One last thing about the gentleman who has helped all these families, bravo!!!
Thank you for evidence that generosity & kindness starts with one person making a decision.
Evidence that business thinking solves social problems when we ignore groupthink on topics like immigration.
May I suggest Timothy Snyder's "Bloodlands" for background on 21st century events in Ukraine. Professor Snyder left Yale and now teaches at Munk School of Global Affairs in Toronto.
Thank you for your comments on generosity and independent thinking in addressing social issues, and for the suggestion of Bloodlands—it’s already on our reading list.

Perhaps the people you interviewed would like to know what Snyder & Victor PInchuk Institute are doing in Ukraine

I found this article very touching.
What I appreciated most is how it talks about identity through normal life, not through big explanations.
It feels real, quiet, and respectful. The kind of story that stays with you after reading.
