A sea of blue and yellow lined both sides of MacLeod Trail by Calgary City Hall late Saturday afternoon.

Six hundred members of Calgary’s Ukrainian community were commemorating the second anniversary of the war in Ukraine.One person in the crowd arrived in Calgary two summers ago and said Saturday was a hard day.

“Although Ukraine has been under Russian aggression for 10 years this has been probably one of the hardest anniversaries that anyone here has had to witness,” says Stephania Romaniuk, vice president of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress Calgary Branch. “I think most important to remember is there are two options. We can stop Russian aggression in Ukraine, or we can wait until it spreads throughout Eastern Europe even further, and that’s going to have even more serious consequences for Canada and our NATO allies,” says Romaniuk.
