Vesna is a Ukrainian dance group based in Nanaimo BC and has been in existence since 1984 Vesna, which means "spring", was formed in 1984.

Since then the Vesna dancers have appeared at various venues and events including the Vancouver Island Ukrainian Concert, Port Alberni Folkfest, Courtenay Malanka, Wesley Street Downtown Multicultural Street Festival, numerous Ukrainian Christmas dinners celebrations and
numerous special events such as weddings, anniversaries and dinners. Vesna's colorful costumes and lively performances also have
delighted many residents of the senior citizen complexes. We offer classes usually from ages 5 to adults. No experience is necessary and all nationalities are welcome. The dance season runs from September to June with classes currently being held on Tuesdays evenings. We offer two free classes on a trial bases if
you are interested. Please message us if you are interested.

Today, Ukrainians around the world mark 35 years since Ukraine renewed its independence.

Even as Russia’s genocidal war continues, Ukraine’s spirit, identity, and culture endure. As Ukrainian Canadians, we carry both a privilege and a responsibility: to preserve and share Ukrainian culture, to protect it from erasure, and to stand firmly with Ukraine.

We remember the lives tragically lost, honour the defenders protecting Ukraine’s future, and thank all Canadians who continue to stand with the Ukrainian people.

May Ukraine’s courage and cultural resilience continue to unite and inspire us.

Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the Heroes! 🇺🇦

Сьогодні українці в усьому світі відзначають 35 років відновленої незалежности України.

Попри те, що геноцидна війна Росії триває, український дух, ідентичність і культура живуть. Як українці Канади, ми маємо привілей і відповідальність зберігати й поширювати українську культуру, захищати її від знищення та непохитно підтримувати Україну.

Ми пам’ятаємо тих, чиї життя були трагічно втрачені, вшановуємо захисників і захисниць, які боронять майбутнє України, та дякуємо всім канадцям, які продовжують підтримувати український народ.

Нехай мужність і культурна стійкість України й надалі об’єднують і надихають нас.

Слава Україні! Героям слава! 🇺🇦
