The Calgary chapter of the League of Ukrainian Women in Canada started celebrating International Women’s Day in 2016. Tetiana Chekhovych in 2016 and Hanna Zavrazhyna in 2017 prepared and presented well researched briefings on our past and present Ukrainian heroines and their contributions towards a free and democratic nation. Other League members prepared delicacies for the receptions held after the presentations. Our guests were impressed with the event and said that it should be held yearly, and opened up to the larger Ukrainian community.
