Independence Day of Ukraine will be celebrated on August 24th in commemoration of the Declaration of Independence of 1991.
The Town of Olds will mark the occasion with an event on Sunday, August 20th in Centennial Park. It will be hosted by the numerous Ukrainian families that have settled here since Russia invaded Ukraine in February of 2022.
Anna Shyyan is one of those new arrivals to town.
She says this Sunday’s event is free, but they will be accepting donations.
This Sunday’s Ukrainian Independence Day Celebration at Centennial Park will run from noon until 4pm, according to Shyyan.
It will include children’s activities, music, and samples of various Ukrainian cuisine. Check out the Community Events Calendar on the Olds.ca website for more details.
