Thank you for joining UCAG at last week’s Vancouver Pride Parade! 🌈

Together, we represented Ukraine, reminded Vancouver about Ukraine’s fight for freedom, and stood for the rights of LGBTQ+ people in Ukraine. Visit the link in our bio to support the LGBTQ+ Military of Ukraine, members of which defend our homeland and democracy every day.

Ukrainian Canadian Advocacy Group stands for equal rights and opportunities for all Ukrainians, and hopes for improved LGBTQ+ rights, such as the establishment of civil unions and anti-discriminatory legislation.

Join us to celebrate 35 Years of Ukrainian Independence

This August marks 35 years of Ukraine’s independence—a journey marked by courage, heartbreak, resilience, and pride.

Through war and hardship, Ukrainians continue to rise: defending our land, winning championships, and sharing our stories with the world. The past 4.5 years have only strengthened our resilience—and our unity.

Now more than ever, standing together matters.

To support one another. To remind the world that we’re still fighting. So no one dares ask, “Wait, isn’t the war over?”

Join us on August 23 at 6 PM on Burrard Bridge in Vancouver.

Bring your flags, wear your colours, and take part in unfurling a 550-metre Ukrainian flag ribbon—a powerful symbol of unity, strength, and freedom.

Приєднуйтесь до святкування 35-ї річниці Незалежності України

Цього серпня виповнюється 35 років Незалежності України — шлях, позначений мужністю, болем, стійкістю та гордістю.

Попри війну й випробування українці продовжують підійматися: захищати свою землю, здобувати перемоги та розповідати світові свої історії. Останні 4,5 роки лише зміцнили нашу силу — і нашу єдність.

Сьогодні як ніколи важливо стояти разом.

Щоб підтримувати одне одного. Щоб нагадати світові: ми все ще боремося. І щоб ніхто більше не питав: «А війна ще триває?»

Зустрічаємось 23 серпня о 18:00 на мосту Буррард у Ванкувері.

Беріть прапори, одягайте національні кольори та долучайтеся до розгортання 550-метрової стрічки українського прапора — потужного символу єдності, сили та свободи.

In 2022, we couldn’t stand by and do nothing.

With your support and donations, we launched a rehabilitation program for Ukrainian children who had lost a parent to the war.

Over the past four years, we have continuously developed and improved the program, helping 460 children on their journey toward healing.

What started as a single program has grown into something much bigger.

Today, it has evolved into Raise.UA — a comprehensive mental recovery ecosystem in Ukraine.

Raise.UA supports children affected by war, trains Ukrainian specialists in world-class trauma-informed methodologies, and engages veterans as mentors through adaptive sports.

Our mission is to build a resilient generation by developing a comprehensive mental recovery ecosystem that can support thousands of children across Ukraine.

Raise.UA — Building a resilient generation.

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.
