This Thanksgiving, even in a world filled with uncertainty and hardship, there is something to be grateful for: a community that gives strength and purpose.

As the war in Ukraine continues, we are reminded how much community, connection, and standing together matter and how important it is to work together to reach our shared goals.

We are deeply grateful for Ukrainian defenders and for all who support Ukraine -- here in Nova Scotia, in Canada, and around the world. πŸ’™πŸ’›

Thank you, Adegoke Fadare, MLA Clayton Park West, for capturing so precisely and so beautifully the essence and importance of the cultural celebration at the East Coast Ukrainian Festival!
