As anniversary approaches, Ukrainians escaping war continue settling into Manitoba
“We’re running in the thousands,” Lewandosky said.
“Manitoba has been extremely welcoming. A lot of people have gone into rural Manitoba — we have people as far as Churchill, Dauphin, Brandon, Steinbach… they are in almost every small community.”Part of that welcoming spirit, she said, is due to the province’s large existing Ukrainian community stepping up to help the newcomers.
“Per capita, Manitoba has the most Ukrainians. Every seventh person is Ukrainian and takes pride in it.” Lewandosky said efforts to resettle Ukrainians here began at the beginning of the war, and the UCC has seen a lot of success through its volunteer-driven efforts. “I’m extremely proud of the work we’re doing. It isn’t easy, but we’re working together and we’re helping people.”For student Nazariy Chychevych, the transition to a life on the Canadian prairies hasn’t been without difficulty, but he — along with his mother and two brothers — has been able to make the adjustment, despite his father staying behind in Ukraine.
