Calgary 
There are a variety of ways to support the Ukrainian community in Calgary, like fundraisers, donations, or by putting your support in a local Ukrainian community business. It is a perfect opportunity to show support and solidarity, but also to learn a few things about the rich Ukrainian culture right here in our city. Many of the locations on this list are running promotions as well to help support Ukrainian foundations or efforts, so be sure to inquire about fundraising, too!
