Local organizations in Kelowna gathered together Saturday afternoon during an expo at the Ukrainian Catholic Church to showcase Ukrainian culture as a way to salute the country.
The expo was put together by the Bravery Foundation, which is a co-operative of local community organizations to support Ukraine and displaced Ukrainians who’ve fled the war and made the Okanagan home.
“Today is about bringing all the organizations that have been helping Ukraine, last year, together,” said Bonnie Penner, Bravery Foundation founder. “So that the people in the Okanagan can see what we’ve all accomplished and so that going forward, they can find a way to participate with helping Ukraine.”
The expo featured a variety of Ukrainian goods, including food, candy, clothes, and heirlooms. Everything was available by donation, and those donations will help Ukrainians both here and in Ukraine.
