The Ukrainian Displaced Persons Planning Committee for Central Alberta is holding a vigil marking the fourth month of the war in Ukraine and remembering the victims lost due to this unprovoked invasion upon Ukraine.

Red Deer and area have now welcomed over 155 people, mostly women and children, who have fled their homes for safety, leaving behind their husbands, fathers, and brothers in Ukraine to fight for freedom.

Everyone is invited to stand in solidarity with Ukraine this Sunday, June 26 at 2:00 pm at the front steps of the Red Deer City Hall. Please bring Ukrainian flags, wear blue and yellow, or Ukrainian embroidered blouses and shirts.
