We are so excited to present our new logo!

The logo features a stylized sunflower rising like the morning sun, symbolizing renewal and celebration. Its base, shaped like a meadow with a flowing river, reflects the beauty of the prairies and the city of Saskatoon. The Tryzub and Maple Leaf unite the national symbols of Ukraine and Canada, celebrating the vibrant spirit of the Ukrainian diaspora. Colours inspired by the Ukrainian and Saskatchewan flags highlight this shared cultural connection.

Can’t wait to see everyone August 29th to celebrate our 25th anniversary. The countdown is on!

🎬 There is just ONE MONTH left until the start of “Second Wind” Special Canadian Tour!

This is not just a documentary. It’s a story of strength that changes your perspective. It tells the story of five Ukrainian heroes who went through pain, loss, and hardship, but did not break. Four veterans with amputations and an active servicewoman climbed one of the “Seven Summits of the World” — Mount Kilimanjaro. It’s about finding your second wind when it feels like there’s none left.

💬 After the screenings, you’ll have a chance to meet the film team in person:
▪️ Oleksandr Pedan — co-founder and host of the project
▪️ Vladyslav “Shatya” Shatilo — veteran and film protagonist

Screening details in Sskatoon:

The screening will be in Ukrainian with English subtitles.

Today, Ukrainians and friends of Ukraine around the world mark the Day of the Tryzub (Coat of Arms of Ukraine) — the State Emblem of Ukraine. 💙💛

On February 19, 1992, the Tryzub was officially adopted as a national symbol of independent Ukraine. Its history, however, stretches back thousands of years. The word “WILL” (freedom) is said to be encoded within its form — a deeply symbolic reflection of Ukraine’s spirit.

Freedom has always lived in the hearts of Ukrainians. Our ancestors fought for it, and it is what we continue to defend today.

Let us take pride and honor Ukraine’s centuries-old heritage. Glory to Ukraine!
____________

Сьогодні українці та друзі України в усьому світі відзначають День Тризуба – Державного герба України. 💙💛

19 лютого 1992 року Тризуб було офіційно затверджено як державний символ незалежної України. Водночас його історія сягає тисячоліть. У ньому зашифроване слово «ВОЛЯ», і це глибоко символічно.

Воля завжди жила в серці українців. За неї боролися наші предки, і саме її ми продовжуємо захищати сьогодні.

Пишаймося нашою спадщиною. Слава Україні!

Screening in Saskatoon on March 9th.

This spring, Canada will witness a story that inspires the world!

Starting in May, a special screening tour of the Ukrainian documentary “Second Wind” will take place across the country. The film tells the story of five Ukrainian heroes: four veterans with lower-limb amputations and an active-duty servicewoman who climbed Africa’s highest peak — Mount Kilimanjaro.

They journeyed from pain and doubt to self-acceptance, new purpose, and a renewed sense of inner strength. “Second Wind” portrays not only a physical challenge, but also a profound inner transformation, reminding us that life after injury can be filled with meaning, challenges, and victories.

• Vladyslav “Shatya” Shatil — film protagonist and veteran

The audience will have the opportunity to ask questions and hear personal stories about the journey from injury to the summit of Kilimanjaro.

The Canadian special screenings of Second Wind carry a charitable mission. Proceeds from ticket sales will support the rehabilitation of Ukrainian veterans through initiatives of the Canada–Ukraine Foundation, which funds comprehensive physical and mental health rehabilitation programs for Ukrainian heroes. By attending a screening, you are not only experiencing a powerful cultural event, but also making a meaningful contribution to the recovery of Ukraine’s defenders.

Life goes on. Victory is possible — no matter what.
Join us and become part of this history.
