  • 1 March 11, 2006 Mrs. Margareth and Leo Mol Winnipeg, Manitoba Dear
    March 11, 2006 Mrs. Margareth and Leo Mol Winnipeg, Manitoba Dear Margareth and Leo, I am writing first of all to thank you very kindly for supporting our initiative to establish a Taras Shevchenko Monument in Ottawa and for providing us with a model of the proposed statue. I would also like to give you a status report on this project, since it is now reaching a very positive outcome. As you know, we have spent more than a year examining the various sites around the city, and have now finally determined that the best location for the statue is next to the St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Shrine in Ottawa. The site has excellent visibility from a major roadway (Baseline Road), sits next to a major park (Vincent Massey Park) and overlooks the beautiful Rideau Canal in the distance. This last view in particular is one that will symbolically remind everyone visiting the site, of Taras Shevchenko’s national memorial on the Dnipro River in Kaniv, Ukraine. At a recent meeting finally announcing this exciting project to the Ukrainian Community in Ottawa on March 5, 2006, a broad-based formal Organizing Committee was created, with representation from key organizations and both Ukrainian religious communities (Catholic and Orthodox). The meeting approved membership to this Committee for our founding team, which has been working closely together on this project, and named me as its Chair. The Organizing Committee includes Mykhaylo Tytarenko, who came to Ottawa to participate at this meeting, and was named as your representative and our sole direct contact with you.
