What we do

Nest with Ukrainian decorative elements 5.png

When we talk about what we do, we use the image of a nest to represent security, home, community, and togetherness. For us, community is both a means and an end: Our work happens only through a collective of volunteers and newcomers working together, and aims to build and strengthen caring, vibrant community.

We aim to be as accessible as possible and, therefore, use an automatic web translation function to provide this website in Ukrainian and Canadian French, as well as English. We recognize that the translations aren't perfect, but we prefer this to having a unilingual website. If anything is confusing, please reach out to us at ok4ukraine@gmail.com.

There are three pillars from which we've developed our strategies and actions:

This important exhibit was first displayed in Kelowna at the prayer for Ukraine event (see below). Our goal is to find funding to print the photos and place the exhibit in local museums, churches, synagogues, mosques, temples, universities, and colleges. It is an important visutal reminder of war crimes and the price paid daily in Ukraine, from Russia's criminal war.

We operate on the unceded and ancestral territory of the Syilx Okanagan peoples.

This land is the traditional meeting grounds, gathering places, and travelling routes of these Indigenous peoples. Please go to Who we are to read about our commitment to the peoples of this land.
