The Second Annual Winnipeg Druzhynnyk Seminar
On the weekend of May 23-25th, 2008, 30 druzhynnyky, including 9 from oseredky in Etobicoke, Mississauga, Calgary and Edmonton participated in a leadership seminar at the Gimli Conference Centre. The seminar focused on issues affecting modern Ukraine and how dryzhynnyky can make a difference. Topics included:
The HIV/AIDS Epidemic in Ukraine
Human Trafficking
Holodomor
Mobilization of Dryzhynnyky in our Respective Oseredky
The weekend was a great success! Of the 46hrs that were spent in heated discussions, interesting presentations, excursions around Gimli, singing by the fire (vatra), and sleepless nights, not a moment was wasted!
A special thank-you is extended to our dynamic guest speakers, including biologist, Dobryan Tracz, and Human Trafficking expert, Irena Soltys.

SUMMER 2006
Ukraine Trip Successful!!!
Twenty-three members of our branch travelled to Ukraine this summer to participate in the World CYM Jamboree. All members managed to survive their beloved bus number one (the only one to break down on every excursion!). They arrived in Odessa only to find out that seven suitcases didn't quite make it... But all in all, it was an extremely memorable trip and everyone had an amazing time!
