Ukrainian newcomers who escaped the war in their home country are preparing to celebrate their first Christmas on Vancouver Island.
Newcomers living at Victoria’s Ukrainian Village told CHEK News emotions are high, but Canadians are bringing some holiday cheer.
She explained that moving this close to the holidays and away from family put major stress on her and her daughter, but those running the Ukrainian Village have put a lot of work into bringing some holiday magic back. She said the society is trying to limit the emotional and financial stress Ukrainian newcomers could be facing by organizing celebrations and collecting Christmas presents.“The reason we created the wish list is so we can ensure people are actually getting what they need and that we are able to distribute it to the people that we have,” McNamara said.
