WATCH LIVE: Solidarity march underway to mark the one-year anniversary of Ukraine war
On Friday morning a special ceremony was held at Toronto City Hall to re-raise the Ukrainian flag, which was first flown in the early days of the war.
Later today, the Toronto sign in Nathan Phillips Square will also be lit blue and yellow in a further show of support for Ukraine. There is also a major solidarity march set for the downtown core at 6:30 p.m., which will be attended by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and other dignitaries. Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began on February 24, 2022 and quickly hit home for many Ukrainians living in Toronto.
“As deputy mayor and on behalf of city council my message to the Ukrainian people in Canada and around the world is we stand with you and support you,” she said.
