"Why do you say Saskatchewan has a deep connection to Ukraine?"
History. The last time a sociopathic Russian dictator decided to murder millions of Ukrainians, many emigrated to escape starvation [1], and many thousands of them came to Saskatchewan. [2] Something like 1 in 7 Saskatchewan residents has Ukrainian heritage.
"But that's old history - it can't possibly show up in modern life!"
You're wrong. There are places in this province where it is - or was, fairly recently - common to hear #Ukrainian spoken in public. Ukrainian Orthodox churches are common. There are thriving cultural associations. The Ukrainian pavilion at our local annual multicultural festival is one of the biggest in the whole event. In my city, there's a co-operative Ukrainian grocery shop and butcher that is hugely popular with all, Ukrainian or not. You can drive through residential neighbourhoods and identify homes where Ukrainian descendants live because they keep certain distinctive traditions alive with their houses. You can find Ukrainian farmer #sausage and perogies in any grocery store, and in many (non-Ukrainian) restaurants.
We have a perogies & borscht place in a shopping mall food court, even.
We stand with Ukraine.
Slava Ukraini.
[1] The Holodomor. Saskatchewan was one of the first jurisdictions to formally recognize it as a genocide.
[2] The fact that it's happening again is horrific.

Hey there, lovely people of proborsch.com!
Guess what — it’s Ukrainian Borsch Day this Saturday! The second Saturday of September is all about celebrating that deep-red, heart-warming bowl of goodness we all love — borsch.
It’s not just soup — it’s family time, it’s sharing stories over the table, it’s that smell in the kitchen that makes everyone smile.
Happy Borsch Day, folks!
