SPONSORED BY: CALGARY UKRAINIAN FESTIVAL 2016!

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Calgary Ukrainian Festival Foundation I would like to welcome you to the SEVENTH Annual Calgary Ukrainian Festival, “Lucky” number 7. There are so many meanings behind “7” across cultures, science, religions and our universe. 7 days in a week, 7 ancient wonders of the world, the 7 days of creation in Christianity, 7 colours in a rainbow, the 7 Heavens in Islam, 7 stars in the Big Dipper, the 7 branch Menorah in Judaism, opposing dice faces equal 7, the 7 Pleiades in Greek mythology, the 7th day in the Chinese New Year is called everyone’s birthday. The list is longer than most may think when it comes to the famous number 7. For many Ukrainians and other cultures that still follow the Julian Calendar, January “7” is Christmas Day! When Ukrainian immigration to Canada began 125 years ago many immigrants continued to celebrate Christmas on January 7. The Gregorian Calendar was already in use in the Western world which celebrates Christmas on December 25th. Did you know that is why it became popularly known as “Ukrainian Christmas” in the West? Why not celebrate it twice! Today we are here to celebrate all the beautiful customs and traditions that were brought to Canada over 125 years ago. We honour the memory of those who came in the search of a better life for their families by preserving all we have been taught. We never forget their hard work by continuing to share all that we practice as tradition. For many new to Canada from in more recent years, it is an opportunity to re-connect with traditions that may have been forgotten through mass emigration 125 years ago. But it is also an opportunity to celebrate the new traditions of the next generation passed on from across the ocean! It is my pleasure to introduce to you our Board of Directors for 2016. Together we work to present every aspect of our Festival that is showcased before you. They are:

Lysia Smandych – Vice Chairman & Stage Program Artistic Director Mike Ilnycky – HR Director & Fundraising Director Jordan Biss – Marketing & Promotions Director Austin Weleschuk – Venue & Vendor Coordinator Bohdan Tyrawski – Controller Wendy Wasylciw – Secretary Karen Uhryn – Operations Director We hope you enjoy your visit with us. Our house is your house. tpиmaЙcя – all the best
