In 1932 and 1933, Joseph Stalin’s Soviet regime inflicted a deliberate famine across Ukraine. The Holodomor — ‘death by hunger’ — was a genocide that starved millions of innocent Ukrainians. In the face of these horrors, Ukrainians endured, protecting their language, their culture, and their identity. When Canada recognized Ukraine’s independence 33 years ago, we knew then what we reaffirm now — that Ukraine must remain free and independent, and its future must be decided by its own people. Вічна їм пам’ять. Vichna yim pamyat.

Little Ukrainians thank nations with big hearts hosting them during this difficult time. We join their words of gratitude. more ♥️ here: ukrainianssaythankyou.com

Yesterday a jr. employee reached out to me to give me some negative feedback about a decision I made. Inside I was celebrating. When a jr. employee feels psychologically safe enough to give the CEO negative feedback, you know you've built a healthy culture.

Councilman Greenlee has always been an advocate for working people and the most vulnerable among us. We’ll miss his voice on Council, but wish him well on his retirement after decades in public service.
