ВІТАЄМО-WELCOME!
CALGARY UKRAINIAN
FESTIVAL 2015!
Вітаємо – welcome!
On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Calgary Ukrainian Festival Foundation I would
like to welcome you to the SIXTH annual Calgary Ukrainian Festival. What a wonderful
journey this has been through the years. If this happens to be your first time with us this
year we are very excited to have you. If you are returning this year you have surely noticed
all the new changes, including our rebranding, a new logo and website! Either way, we
hope you enjoy your stay with us this weekend.
As part of Calgary’s rich multicultural mosaic our Festival pays tribute to the many
Ukrainian immigrants who settled across Canada 125 years ago. We honour their memory
by preserving our cultural heritage and continuing the many customs and traditions that
have been passed down from one generation to the next. May their hard work, dreams,
and determination to start a better life for their families in Canada always be remembered.
I have had the pleasure of working with an amazing Boards of Directors since our Festival’s
inception. Together we spend countless volunteer hours coordinating every aspect of our
Festival to showcase everything that you see before you. My fellow Board of Directors are:
Lysia Smandych – Vice Chairman
Mike Ilnycky – HR Director & Fundraising Director
Stefan Moroz – Treasurer
Jordan Biss – Marketing & Promotions Director
Austin Weleschuk – Venue Director & Vendor Coordinator
Michael Chez – Zabava Director
Wendy Wasylciw – Secretary
Karen Uhryn – Operations Director
As the Board of Directors our goals are simple. We want YOU to enjoy the many stage
shows, fill up on the delicious food, shop till you drop in our vendor market and of course
refresh yourself with a variety of Ukrainian beverages. But most of all, our goal is that
you leave with a smile after spending time at the Calgary Ukrainian Festival.
As I have said in Festivals past to those joining us for the first time, our house is your
house this weekend and we hope you enjoy every moment of your stay. And to those
that are returning this year for another or even multiple years, WELCOME HOME!
tpиmaЙcя – all the best

UKRAINIAN CANADIAN CONGRESS
CALGARY BRANCH
On behalf of the Calgary Branch of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress, I welcome all
visitors to the Sixth Annual Calgary Ukrainian Festival. This local celebration is once again
a great opportunity to unite our community, not only locally, but with Ukrainians around
the world and in Ukraine. It is an opportunity to celebrate and share our rich traditions
and culture with the next generation and with those from other cultures who take an
interest in our traditions as well.
Especially at this challenging time, as Ukrainians defend their country, Ukrainians around
the world have found renewed interest in uniting with their community, not in anger or hate,
but in support of democratic values and freedoms that the Ukrainian people have fought
for, for generations. This struggle for freedom and democratic values is often heard and
seen in the songs and dances that are being performed during this festival.
I wish you all an enjoyable time at this year’s Calgary Ukrainian Festival and encourage
you to use the opportunity to connect and share with your community. We’ll be glad
to get to know you.
Best regards,
ROBERT KALINOVICH
President
Calgary Branch of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress

A MESSAGE FROM
MAYOR NENSHI
On behalf of my City Council colleagues and the citizens of Calgary, it is my pleasure
to welcome you to the 6th Annual Calgary Ukrainian Festival.
This festival provides a wonderful opportunity for Calgary’s thriving Ukrainian community
to showcase this rich and vibrant culture. Nearly 80,000 Calgarians are proud to claim
Ukrainian descent, and this festival really shows the best of Ukrainian hospitality. The
festival offers a chance for all Calgarians to take in Ukrainian arts, cuisine, entertainment
and culture, as well as the spectacular Ukrainian Zabava.
I would like to commend the organizers for putting this programme together and all of
the volunteers who have worked so hard to make this event a success. Thank you all
for sharing with us your rich and unique heritage.
Sincerely,
NAHEED K. NENSHI
Mayor

CULTURE - КУЛЬТУРА
CALGARY AND THE
UKRAINIANS WHO LIVE HERE
Vivid blue skies and brilliant
yellow wheat fields are one of
the many spectacular sceneries
Ukrainian immigrants lamented
through song, dance and poetry
when they came to Canada. This
imagery is so familiar to many
Ukrainian-Canadians, especially
those in Alberta. It speaks not
only of home, but calls to mind
the “breadbasket” of Europe,
Ukraine. Although Ukraine’s fertile
soil is a symbol of wealth, health,
and prosperity, throughout history
Ukraine has been impoverished,
divided, and controlled by various
foreign invaders. This reality is what
spurred Ukrainians to leave their
distressing lives behind and pursue
Canada’s untapped potential. They
saw Canada as a country where
they could be independent and
create a new life filled with dreams,
hope, and wealth.
These Ukrainian immigrants had
no idea what effect their decisions
would have on the future of
both Alberta and Canada. Their
strength and determination laid the
foundation of a strong future for
their children and their community.
In the early years of immigration,
Ukrainian farmers helped develop
the west by settling in the prairies.
They cleared the land, erected
farmsteads, and developed a
strong agrarian economy. Later,
in the years following the two
world wars, Alberta saw Ukrainian
immigrants building businesses
and entering into professional
occupations, thus raising the
economic profile of the province
and their communities. Many
communities were thriving,
including Calgary.
Today, Calgary has a prosperous
Ukrainian community located in all
quadrants of the city; however, it
was in Bridgeland that the majority
of Ukrainian immigrants settled
in the early 1900s. In Bridgeland,
you can experience historical
Ukrainian attractions in their original
settings while enjoying modernday Calgary. Throughout Calgary
and surrounding areas, the rich
history of Ukrainian art and culture
is on display. Here are some of
the historical destinations you may
want to check out this summer!
Despite this damage, the church
community rallied and continued
to use the hall located in the
basement. During this time, the
parishioners developed a plan
for reconstruction, and rebuilding
began in 1986. Finally, in 1994, the
new church was fully completed
when the last important piece was
put into place: the Iconostasis wall.
The remnants of the 1938 church
were burned and buried in land
the congregation owned; however,
this land has since been sold and
there is no marker today to indicate
where the pieces are buried. If you
would like to know more, check
out the church’s website at
www.stvlads.com.
ST. VLADIMIR’S UKRAINIAN
ORTHODOX CONGREGATION
(404 Meredith Road NE)
St. Vladimir’s Congregation was
formed in 1927. For the first 11
years, the congregation rented
halls and homes until parishioners
were able to purchase land
for a permanent location on
the Bow River in 1938. In July
1976, an electrical fire in the
church damaged many valuable
treasures and holy artifacts such
as the Iconostasis wall, books,
documents, and 16 holy icons.
THE ASSUMPTION OF THE
BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
UKRAINIAN CATHOLIC PARISH
(704 6th Street NE)
The original parish was located in
lower Bridgeland on 1st Avenue,
and was built in the 1930s. When
the church was first established,
the congregation named the
church St. Stephens. As the parish
UKRAINIAN YOUTH ASSOCIATION
(704 6th Street NE)
This youth association can trace its
founding roots to the mid-1920s
in Ukraine, and the local chapter
in Calgary was established during
the 1970s. CYM’s mission is to
promote the principles of Christian
ethics and instill pride in its
community and Ukrainian heritage.
The association upholds and
emphasizes one’s role as a citizen
of Canada, and the importance of
one’s responsibility as a member of
the Ukrainian community.
grew larger, a new church was
needed, thus the congregation
found a suitable location and laid
the foundation for the church in
September 1955. By December
1955, the basement of the church
was built, and Divine Liturgies were
being held. On December 8, 1957,
the name was formally changed
to the Assumption of the Blessed
Virgin Mary Ukrainian Catholic
Church. Construction of the church
was finished in 1959, and the
Divine Liturgies were moved from
the basement into the church. The
present day name of the parish is
attributed to the last parish priest,
the late George Kowalsky, who
had survived Auschwitz. Father
Kowalsky attributed his survival to
his prayers to the Mother of God,
and at the time had promised that
he would carry a special devotion
to Her if he survived. As parish
priest, he proposed changing the
name to its current name. If you

www.abvmcalgary.com.
enough park space for the 100
trees, the city and UCC opted to
plant one tree for every two years;
hence 50 trees were planted. If
you try to find the park on Google
Maps, you may find it referred to
as Bridgeland Park rather than its
proper name, Ukrainian Pioneer
Park. For more information,
check out A.M. Koszarycz’s blog
at ukrainiancalgary.blogspot.
ca/2012/09/calgarys-ukrainianpioneer-park.html.
During the 1970s, the association
purchased a commercial building
that houses the Calgary chapter
of the organization. Along with the
association, the building houses
trail squash and racquetball courts
and a small convenience store.
Over the years, many Ukrainian
organizations regularly book the
meeting rooms located in the
facility. If you would like to know
more, check out CYM’s website
at www.cym.org/ca-calgary.
UKRAINIAN PIONEER PARK
(7th Avenue and 6th Street NE)
Present-day Ukrainian Pioneer Park
was originally named Stanley Jones
Park after Stanley Livingston Jones,
who was Calgary’s first Great
War enlistee. In 1991, the City of
Calgary, along with the Ukrainian
Canadian Congress (UCC),
commemorated the centenary of
Ukrainian settlement in Canada,
and the park was renamed to
reflect this commemoration of
Ukrainian pioneering in Calgary
and Canada. The original plan for
the commemoration was to plant
one hundred trees, one for each
year. However, since there wasn’t
THE CALGARY
HOLODOMOR MEMORIAL
(Southeast corner of Memorial
Drive at Edmonton Trial)
The monument, designed by Ihor
Novosilets, was commissioned by
the Ukrainian Canadian Congress
and the Canadian Civil Liberties
Association, and was memorialized
in 1996. The dedication on
the monument reads: “Eternal
Remembrance. In memory of many
millions of Ukrainians who perished
in the genocidal great famine
inflicted upon Ukraine by the Soviet

Regime 1932-1933. Let us all
stand on guard against tyranny,
violence and inhumanity.” On
the last Saturday in November
each year, Holodomor
Commemoration Day, the Calgary
Ukrainian community holds a
commemoration service. The
commemoration service has grown
to include a special service held at
St. Vladimir’s Ukrainian Orthodox
Church nearby, and the community
walks to the site for the final
component of the service.

ST. STEPHEN PROTOMARTYR
UKRAINIAN CATHOLIC CHURCH
(4903–45th Street SW)
After the Assumption of the
Blessed Virgin Mary Church was
built in the 1930s, the congregation
grew and flourished over the years.
Soon, a part of the congregation
decided to establish another
Ukrainian Catholic church in the
south of Calgary. This new parish
took the namesake of St. Stephen,
which was originally used by the
Assumption of the Blessed Virgin
Mary Catholic. This group founded
St. Stephen Protomartyr parish in
May 1967, and proceeded with
building plans for this new parish.
The church was built in stages.
In July 1972, the first stage was
the parish hall/cultural centre, and
Divine Liturgies were subsequently
served there. In 1974, Montrealbased architect Radoslav Zuk
was commissioned to design the
second part of the building stage,
which was the church itself. The
church was completed in 1982.
For more information, check

www.protomartyr.ca.
ASSOCIATION OF UNITED UKRAINIAN
CANADIANS CALGARY BRANCH
(3316–28th Avenue SW)
It is home to the Calgary Hopak
Ensemble and a children’s dance
school. The AUCC also owns a
children’s camp, Camp Kamenyar
at Sylvan Lake, and hosts a
Ukrainian Senior Citizens Club. The
original AUCC Ukrainian Hall was
located 209, 4th Avenue SE, and
was used from 1959 to 1968 until
the city expropriated the lot and
the AUCC moved to its present
location. For more information,
check out the AUCC’s website at
www.auuc.ca/branches.htm.
TRYZUB STUDIO
(115, 3953–112 Avenue SE)
The Tryzub Ukrainian Dance
Ensemble was founded by seven
individuals in September 1974. The
ensemble’s goal is to preserve and
promote Ukrainian dancing and
spread this aspect of UkrainianCanadian culture. Since 1996 it
has run a school of dance for ages
4 to adult. After years of holding
rehearsals in rented spaces, Tryzub
opened its own studio in 2008. It
has 3000 sq. ft. of studio space.
Three separate studios (46 ft. by 30
ft., 40 ft. by 30 ft., 30 ft. by 25 ft.)
all have sprung dance floors, fulllength mirrors, and ballet barres.
For more information, check out
their website at www.tryzub.ca.
THE BANFF AREA
The Banff area was the site of
World War I internment camps
and now houses memorials
in recognition of this period in
Canadian history.
THE CAVE AND BASIN WORLD
WAR I INTERNMENT EXHIBIT
(Banff, next to the Cave and
Basin National Historic Site)
From 1915 to 1917, between 200
and 600 mostly Eastern European
immigrants were held prisoner at
two internment camps in Banff —
first at Castle Mountain and later at
Cave and Basin. These immigrants
were designated as enemy aliens
under Canada’s War Measures Act
(1914), and were interned during
World War I as prisoners of war.
The Castle Mountain Internment
Camp is considered the largest
internment facility in the Canadian
Rockies. In 2008, the UkrainianCanadian community reached a
settlement regarding the matter of
acknowledgement and redress for
World War I interment. As part of
the settlement, funding was made
available for educational purposes.
Thus, through the federal
government’s National Historic
Recognition Program, a 1000 sq.
ft. interpretive centre was built at
the Cave and Basin site. It houses
an exhibit called Enemy Aliens,
Prisoners of War: Canada’s First
World War Internment Operation.
Originally, the official opening was
set for June 19th, 2013; however,
due to the flood that occurred in
Southern Alberta, the opening was
deferred to September 13th, 2013.
For more information, check out
www.uccmb.ca/cmhr/ukrainianintermnet-in-banff-national-park
or www.internmentcanada.ca.
In 1995, the Ukrainian Canadian
Civil Liberties Association
memorialized the historic event by
erecting a statue near the original
Castle Mountain campsite. This
statue is located 30 km west of
Banff on Highway 1A, about 4 km
west of Castle Mountain Junction.
The statue was designed by John
Boxtel and is entitled “Why.” Boxtel
ingeniously used fiberglass made
to look like metal so that the statue
can withstand the harsh mountain
weather. For more information,

BARVINOK
UKRAINIAN DANCE SOCIETY
Calgary, AB | www.barvinok.com
TRYZUB
UKRAINIAN DANCE ENSEMBLE
Calgary, AB
Created in 1990, the Barvinok Ukrainian Dance Society is dedicated to sharing Ukrainian
culture through dance. Artistic Director Trevor Shular and his team of highly accredited
instructors offer a variety of classes for students as young as three. Children, teen and
young adult classes compete at events including SAUDF and Cheremosh. The school
also offers recreational classes for adults. With one of the largest collections of costumes
handcrafted in Ukraine, dancers are able to perform, while showcasing both traditional
and contemporary cultural clothing. Celebrating their 25th anniversary, the Society will be
traveling to Ukraine once again in 2015, where the group looks forward to performing for
audiences in four cities.
In September of 1974, seven dedicated individuals put together the framework for the
Tryzub Ukrainian Dance Ensemble and Calgary’s first prominent Ukrainian dance group
was created. The Ensemble was named after the Tryzub (‘trident” in English, pronounced
tre-zoob), the national symbol of a free and independent Ukraine. This ancient emblem
has endured within the hearts of all Ukrainians as a symbol of honesty, health, power and
protection from evil and all enemies. Proud to call Calgary home, Tryzub has represented
Calgary’s vibrant arts scene on stages around the world.
Currently under the artistic direction of Mr. Vasyl Kanevets, Tryzub continues to bring to
life the beauty and colour of Ukrainian dance and folklore. The Ensemble is comprised
of dancers from seventeen to thirty-five years of age, who are all volunteers and proudly
continue Tryzub’s tradition of exceptional Ukrainian dance in Calgary. Tryzub has
performed extensively throughout Western Canada, the United States, Australia, Mexico,
Turkey, and Panama. Performances have ranged from fully presented concerts to guest
appearances including conventions and festival shows.
The Ensemble had the privilege of performing for Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, and His
Royal Highness, The Duke of Edinburgh, during their Alberta Centennial Royal Visit in May
2005. Tryzub is a core performing group at Calgary’s annual Globalfest Multicultural and
Fireworks Festival, and just recently participated in a four city tour of Razom 2: a Fusion of
Ukrainian Dance alongside three other Ukrainian dance companies from western Canada.
YALENKA
UKRAINIAN DANCE SOCIETY
Calgary, AB | www.yalenka.com
Yalenka Ukrainian Dance Society School of Dance was the first Ukrainian dance school
in Calgary. Its roots date back to the early 1970’s when parents attending St. Vladimir’s
Ukrainian Orthodox Church organized dance classes for their children. Shortly thereafter
– in 1980 – the group was named Yalenka (meaning “Christmas Tree”) a name chosen for
the vibrant image of enthusiastic children dancing together around the yuletide symbol.
Yalenka’s mission statement is “to teach Ukrainian dance skills in an environment that
promotes commitment, self-confidence and the enjoyment of the Ukrainian Heritage”,
and through this ideology it embraces the spirit of our dancers. Although the focus of
instruction is on technical excellence and artistic impression, the value of dancing just
for fun is not forgotten! This vision captures the success of Yalenka.
This year Yalenka is celebrating 40 years of dance. Classes are conducted at the
professional studios of the School of Alberta Ballet, and Yalenka has highly qualified
instructors who are professional dancers with Suzirya Dance Theatre. The students, in the
dance school, range in age from three years to adult. Yalenka School is unique in that at
every spring concert there is a storyline that showcases the talents of the entire school.
SUZIRYA
UKRAINIAN DANCE THEATRE
Calgary, AB | www.suzirya.com
The vision began in November 2004. A group of passionate, professionally trained
dancers came together to form the Suzirya Ukrainian Dance Theatre. Suzirya, meaning
a constellation of many stars, is founded on the eloquent fusion of ballet and traditional
folk dance. Under the direction of Serguei Makarov, Suzirya continues to entertain
audiences worldwide with countless choreographic compositions embodying the
culture and spirit of Ukraine.
Some of Suzirya’s notable performances include: The Orange Revolution (2005);
Multicultural Dance Montage for Her Majesty’s Royal Visit and The Calgary Stampede
Evening Grandstand Show (2005); the Kimberley International Folk Festival (2005, 2006);
Hopak In The Park (2005, 2007); Canada’s National Ukrainian Festival (2006, 2013); San
Diego’s House of Ukraine Festival (2007); Kateryna Australia Tours (Sydney, Melbourne,
Adeliade, Perth 2008); Kateryna Canadian Tours (Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Victoria,
Nanaimo, Montreal, and Ottawa 2007-2010), Toronto’s Ukrainian Festival (2011), “Spirit
of the Seasons” production in Calgary, Edmonton, Victoria and Nanaimo (2013). The
Theatre congratulates the Calgary Ukrainian Festival for its ongoing efforts in promoting
the Ukrainian community in Calgary.

THANK YOU - ЩИРО ДЯКУЄМО
TO ALL THE
VOLUNTEERS
Volunteerism is a powerful means
of tackling huge projects such as our
6th Annual Calgary Ukrainian Festival.
There are so many people who have
contributed their time, skills and knowledge
at every level in order for this festival to
take place. The Calgary Ukrainian Festival
Foundation’s Board of Directors would like
to thank each and every volunteer for his/her
involvement with this event. Every volunteer
has truly facilitated the City of Calgary to
mark its continued legacy of tradition and a
celebration of spirit — a Ukrainian tradition.
Volunteers’ passion and dedication are so
hard to come by and their selfless dedication
speaks volumes.
