Katherine Smolynec, president of UNF Montreal, commented on the importance of music during turbulent times. “My parents were refugees from Ukraine after the second world war, and I grew up in Montreal as part of the Ukrainian community here,” she says. “We sang songs about the fight for freedom and warriors fighting for their country, but I always thought that was history. The Russian genocidal war on Ukraine has reminded us that celebrating our heritage is not just sharing Ukrainian culture here in Canada, but supporting the real, living Ukrainians who have been brutally attacked only because of their language and culture.”
