Welcome! Вітаємо! Bienvenue!

We are delighted that you could join us for Ottawa’s second annual Ukrainian summer festival.

This year, the Festival’s theme recognizes the many contribu-tions those of Ukrainian heritage have made as one of Cana-da’s nation builders. For well over a century, Ukrainians have helped to weave Canada’s cultural fabric.

Our community is proud to host and celebrate our unique Ukrainian heritage, culture and traditions. We hope that you will experience our genuine warmth and hospitality while you are enjoying the Capital Ukrainian Fes-tival.

Our volunteers have worked tirelessly to bring to you a completely different festival experience each day. On Thursday night, you can explore Ukrainian-Canadian culture and history with a stellar series of award-winning films. On Friday, we have a double treat for you: a fashion show where art and creativity will be showcased on the catwalk; and for those of you who like to dance, a DJ dance party will round out the evening. On Saturday we want you to fully experience the cultural richness that is Ukrainian: dance, music, arts & crafts, educational tours, children’s activities, and, of course, a great selection of food. Sunday’s program, “One World Show”, is the Festival’s way of underlining how important diversity has been to allowing Ukrainians, and other groups, contribute to the building of a strong Canada. As a fitting end to a fun-filled 4-day festival, we have invited various cultural and musical groups to join us in celebrating the power and richness of diversity.

As a final thought, this is a Festival that was born only a year ago. Immensely popular, we owe a warm and heartfelt THANK YOU to all the volunteers who contribute to the success of the festival. Without our dedicated army of volunteers, we could not have brought you this wonderful event. Success belongs to them and I am so proud to call them “my festival family”.

Thank you, дякую, merci to all who made the Capital Ukrainian Festival a resounding success.

125th Anniversary of Ukrainian Immigration to Canada

This year marks a historical milestone for Ukrainian-Canadians – the 125th Anniversary of Ukrain-ian immigration to Canada. There are over 1.3 million Canadians of Ukrainian descent, of those, 25,000 live in Ottawa. The Capital Ukrainian Festival will give you four days of mememorable activities to celebrate the occasion.

A special logo was created for the 125 anniversary by Oleh Lesiuk. This logo captures the special event in three parts. The bottom part symbolizes the four waves of immigration to Canada. These are the waves of the oceans to be overcome, the waves of people that brought new hopes and dreams to a new land.

The central part of the logo represents people transforming themselves into three flying cranes. These powerful, intelligent and enduring birds appear often in Ukrainian music and folklore and

are known in Canada as Zhuravli, a symbol of people migrating from one’s own nest to travel to far lands, possibly never to return again.

The group of cranes symbolizes a family as a founda-tion of society. Once settled in a new land they strive to desired heights. The national crest of Ukraine – the Golden Trident (Tryzub), superimposed on a blue crane, symbolizes the country of origin.

The wings of the cranes ultimately transform into a Maple Leaf – the national symbol of Canada.

The number “125” indicates 125 years of immigration to Canada.

These many waves of Ukrainians have contributed to building a strong, culturally rich and vibrant Can-ada.

Dear Friends:

Greetings to the Capital Ukrainian Festival

On behalf of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress, which represents the interests and brings together under one umbrella Canada’s 1.3 million strong Ukrainian Canadian community, I would like to congratulate and thank the organizers of the 2nd Annual Capital Ukrainian Festival.

It is only fitting that the Ukrainian community in Ottawa, our Nation’s Capital, host this impor-tant showcase of Ukrainian culture, music, arts, food and traditions as we celebrate the 125th anniversary of Ukrainian immigration to Canada, the 75th anniversary of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress and the 25th Anniversary of Ukraine’s Independence.

As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently stated, “Canada’s greatest strength is in its diversity, and I’m proud to see multiculturalism flourish in communities right across this great country, as shown time and time again by the extraordinary strength of Ukrainian Canadians who see no contradiction in being proud Ukrainians and proud Canadians at the same time.”

Multiculturalism has become one of the most fundamental values that defines Canada as a na-tion, and the Ukrainian Canadian community feels very proud to have been instrumental in its development and adoption some 45 years ago.

Please enjoy the singers, dancers, artists, cuisine and be sure to enjoy the world famous Ukrain-ian Canadian hospitality.

Yours very truly,UKRAINIAN CANADIAN CONGRESS

As Minister of Canadian Heritage and the Min-ister responsible for Multiculturalism, it is my privilege to welcome you to this year’s Capital Ukrainian Festival.

This year’s edition is particularly significant as 2016 marks 125 years of Ukrainian immigration to Canada. Canadians of Ukrainian descent now number over 1.3 million across Canada, with over 20,000 in Ottawa alone.

Ukrainian immigrants to Canada brought with them their vibrant and colourful cultural tra-ditions and have enriched Canada’s society, economy, and diversity. Over four days, the festival will bring those rich traditions to life through dance, food, music, fashion, and art, demonstrating Canada’s diversity and intro-ducing Ottawans to Ukrainian culture.

I congratulate the organizers, participants, performers, and attendees for making the Capital Ukrainian Festival a success.

Enjoy the celebrations!

À titre de ministre du Patrimoine canadien et de ministre responsable du multiculturalisme, c’est un privilège pour moi de vous souhaiter la bien-venue à l’édition 2016 du Festival ukrainien de la capitale.

Il s’agit d’une année tout à fait particulière pour le Festival, étant donné qu’on célèbre en 2016 les 125 ans de l’immigration ukrainienne au Canada. Aujourd’hui, plus de 1,3 million de Can-adiens d’origine ukrainienne vivent aux quatre coins du Canada, dont plus de 20 000 à Ottawa seulement.

Les immigrants ukrainiens ont fait cadeau au Canada de leurs traditions culturelles vivantes et colorées, et ont enrichi notre société, notre économie et la diversité de notre pays. Durant ses quatre journées, le Festival illustrera ces riches traditions par la danse, les mets, la mu-sique, la mode et l’art, se faisant la vitrine de la diversité canadienne et offrant aux Ottaviens un aperçu de la culture ukrainienne.

Mes félicitations aux organisateurs, aux partic-ipants, aux artistes et aux visiteurs; le Festival ukrainien de la capitale vous doit son succès.

Profitez bien des célébrations!

Dear friends,

I am so proud to have this opportunity to send greetings to all of you at-tending the Capital Ukrainian Festival. This is truly a special year to be a part of the celebrations as the festival marks the 125th anniversary of Ukrainian settlement in Canada.

Ukrainian culture is so rich and diverse and we are a stronger city and com-munity for having learned from our Ukrainian neighbours and friends.

This festival truly offers something for everyone in attendance. From dance and music to deli-cious food!

You don’t have to be Ukrainian to truly enjoy everything this festival has to offer – especially the Perogies!

I am also proud of the Ontario government for supporting integral cultural festivals in Ottawa such as the Capital Ukrainian Festival. Congratulations to the organizers for being awarded an Ontario Cultural Attractions Fund Grant from the Ontario government.

I am a true believer that our differences only make us a stronger community and today, we can celebrate that diversity!

Congratulations to all the organizers, staff and volunteers who are working tirelessly to makeCapital Ukrainian Festival an absolute hit! Looking forward to many more years of celebrations.

On behalf of Members of Ottawa City Coun-cil, it is my distinct pleasure to extend a warm welcome to all those participating in the Cap-ital Ukrainian Festival, taking place at Saint John The Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Shrine, in the heart of our nation’s capital, from July 21st to 24th 2016.

I am delighted to offer my moral support to the Capital Ukrainian Festival organizers for providing a valuable forum for festival-go-ers of Ukrainian ancestry, and the wider community, to celebrate Ukrainian culture and heritage through the presentation of award-winning film, performing arts, fashion, and culinary arts showcases, including the ex-hibition of art and the staging of a traditional Yarmarok (marketplace).

As Head of Council, I want also to take this opportunity to salute the some 25,000 Otta-wans, and 1.3 million Canadians, of Ukrainian descent, in recognition of the 125th Anniver-sary of Ukrainian settlement Canada.

In addition, I want to acknowledge the Capital Ukrainain Festival organizers, artists, spon-sors and volunteers for dedicating efforts, talents, expertise and resources to the suc-cessful coordination of this community event.

Allow me to convey my best wishes to every-one in attendance for a very entertaining fes-tival, and to the visitors for a most enjoyable stay in Ottawa.

Sincerely,

Au nom des membres du Conseil municipal d’Ottawa, j’ai l’immense plaisir de souhaiter une cordiale bienvenue à tous les participants au Fes-tival ukrainien de la capitale, qui se déroulera au Sanctuaire catholique ukrainien Saint John The Baptist, au coeur de notre capitale nationale, du 21 au 24 juillet 2016.

Je suis ravi d’offrir mon soutien moral aux organ-isateurs du Festival ukrainien de la capitale, qui offrent un précieux lieu de rencontre aux festiva-liers d’ascendance ukrainienne et à la collectivité dans son ensemble pour souligner la culture et le patrimoine ukrainiens grâce à la projection de films primés, à des spectacles, à des présenta-tions de mode et à des activités axées sur les arts culinaires, notamment l’exposition d’art et l’or-ganisation d’un Yarmarok (marché) traditionnel.

En tant que chef du Conseil, je tiens également à profiter de l’occasion pour rendre hommage aux quelque 25 000 résidents d’Ottawa et 1,3 million de Canadiens d’origine ukrainienne à l’occasion du 125e anniversaire de l’établissement d’Ukrain-iens au Canada.

En outre, je remercie les organisateurs du Festi-val ukrainien de la capitale, les artistes, les com-manditaires et les bénévoles de mettre leurs efforts, leurs talents, leur savoir-faire et leurs res-sources au service de la coordination efficace de cette activité communautaire.

Permettez-moi de souhaiter à toutes les per-sonnes présentes un festival très divertissant et aux visiteurs un séjour des plus agréables à Ot-tawa.

Meilleures salutations.

Dear friends!

I am pleased to extend my warmest greetings to everyone attending Capital Ukrainian Festi-val in Ottawa!

2016 makes this event very special: the Ukrain-ian community of Canada celebrates 125th an-niversary of first Ukrainian settlements, 75th anniversary of the Ukrainian Canadian Con-gress and young Ukrainian State celebrates its 25th anniversary. Those jubilees evidence the friendly ties, rooted deeply in history of our two great nations and peoples.

Ottawa’s Ukrainian Festival contributes to further rapprochement between our peoples and brings together individuals and commu-nities of different origins. It also allows us to proudly celebrate the rich Ukrainian heritage and history in the Canadian capital.

Taking this pleasant opportunity, I would like to thank the Ukrainian community of Ottawa for the interest, love and respect to Ukrainian ancestry and for preserving and promoting cultural traditions of our people.

Please accept my best wishes for a memora-ble and joyful Capital Ukrainian Festival.

Дорогі друзі!

Для мене велика честь передати найтепліші вітання усім відвідувачам Українського фестивалю в Оттаві!

Цьогорічний захід є особливим: у 2016 році українська громада Канади відзначає 125-річчя української імміграції до Канади, 75-річчя Конгресу Українців Канади, а також 25-ліття Незалежності молодої Української держави. Ці ювілеї є доказом дружніх зв’язків, вкорінених глибоко в історії наших двох великих націй і народів.

У свою чергу, Оттавський український фестиваль сприяє подальшому зближенню наших народів, єднає людей і громади різного походження. До того ж, цей захід дозволяє нам гордо презентувати українську спадщину і історію у столиці Канади.

Користуючись цією приємною нагодою, я також хотів би подякувати українській громаді Оттави за щирий інтерес, любов і повагу до української культури та за збереження і розвиток прадавніх традицій українського народу.

Щиросердно бажаю вам незабутніх і радісних вражень під час Оттавського українського фестивалю!

Music is the lifeblood of any Canadian Ukrainian community. Musicians, as active scribes and inter-preters of social rituals, help to both keep alive ethnic identity while transforming “old music and instruments” into new genres of music. To know the “new” sometimes means knowing the “old”: whether it’s an accordion ensemble, bandura, or the very popular tsymbaly. These instruments are intermingling to create a unique brand of Ukrainian music that all Canadians can relate to.

100 Years of Ukrainian Churches in CanadaPhotographer, Sterling Demchinsky, will present “100 Years of Ukrainian Churches in Canada”, at 7:00 pm on Saturday, July 23. Photographs and discussion will centre on the evolution of archi-tectural style of Ukrainian Catholic and Orthodox churches built in Canada from the late 19th and 20th centuries.

She has won 15 ACTRA awards, a Juno, the MacLean’s Honour Roll, and was among the first Canadians to be inducted into the International Humour Hall of Fame. In 2011, she performed at the Toronto Ukrainian Festival. In May 2012 Luba Goy debuted her one-person show, LUBA, SIMPLY LUBA at the Berkeley Street Theatre, Toronto.

Zapovid has played at numerous events and festivals across Canada as well as in the United States.

From Edmonton, Al-berta, JOHN STETCH was born with jazz in his blood, with 2 of his uncles also having been performers and founding fathers of the Yardbird Suite, now one of the most successful jazz clubs in Canada. The Ukrainian community was a huge influence on Stetch: he spent many years singing, playing and dancing to ethnic folk music. After earn-ing a music degree in jazz piano studies at McGill University, Stetch began touring and recording across Canada and eventual-ly accumulated 6 Juno Award nominations over 20 years. He won the Prix du Jazz at the Montreal Interna-tional Festival and has been frequently recorded by the CBC.
