Yesterday, history was made 🇺🇦🇨🇦
Vancouver City Council passed the motion — and our community will finally have a Holodomor Memorial in our city.
After more than a decade of effort, persistence, and advocacy, this moment has come. What once felt uncertain is now becoming reality.
This memorial is more than a monument.
It is the rightful recognition of millions of lives lost.
It is Ukrainian history taking its place in Vancouver’s public space.
It is a statement that this truth will not be erased.
We extend our sincere thanks to Mayor and Vancouver City Council for this decision.
Deep gratitude to the Holodomor Committee of Vancouver — and to all those who worked for years to make this possible, who advocated, organized, and never gave up on this vision.
Thank you to the Ukrainian Canadian Congress, UCC Vancouver Branch , , and everyone who contributed to bringing this project forward.
We are also grateful to the Estonian and Hong Kong communities for standing with us in solidarity.
And to everyone who showed up — your presence mattered.
This is not the end.
This is the beginning.
There is still much work ahead as UCC Vancouver Branch continues to move this project forward — but today, we took a historic step.
