Wall murals at the Ukrainian Co-op are being refreshed to incorporate flowers native to Saskatchewan and designs that reflect Ukrainian and First Nations and Métis culture. Artist Jez Brenwold hopes to complete the project before winter.

On the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, we celebrate the history of close relationship between Ukrainian people and Indigenous people in Canada.
The story of #kokum scarves is one of the great examples of deep our cultural ties.

We wrote to the @HockeyHallFame @MelanieJoly and @MarcMillerVM to ensure Datsyuk is not let into the Hall, or into Canada. Our letter here:
ucc.ca/2024/08/08/ucc-letter…
New members will be inducted into the @HockeyHallFame in November. Among them will be Russian citizen and former outstanding hockey player Pavel Datsyuk. With his excellent performances and everything he has done for hockey, Pavel undoubtedly deserves a place in the HHOF. Induction into the HHOF is public and it is customary for each inductee to be present at the induction into the HHOF. Here it must be said that every public appearance of a Russian citizen who has not officially condemned the Russian imperialist war and other crimes connected with it (including the genocide of Ukrainian children) is automatically a huge advertisement for the Russian war and other Russian crimes, including the genocide of Ukrainian children. I don't know if Pavel plans to condemn the Russian war in the coming months and, above all, if he is able to do it. However, it must be said that if he doesn't, his appearance at the award ceremony (since he is a Russian citizen) will be a huge advertisement for the Russian war and Russian crimes. And it will have the effect of escalating the war, delaying the victory of Ukraine and delaying the achievement of peace. And so it will automatically have an effect on a much larger number of human lives lost and maimed. Both on the Ukrainian side and on the Russian side. Canada and the HHOF must decide what is more important to them. Is it the presence and public appearance of the Russian citizen and new HHOF member Pavel Datsyuk? Or are they human lives that you can save by making the right decision and not allowing a Russian citizen to appear publicly on your territory? Canada and the HHOF, by your decision you will make it clear to the world what is more important to you and how important human life is to you, even if it is on another continent. The decision is yours.
