The Manitoba Government is Contributing Funds Towards Ukrainian Newcomers Through a Summer Day Camp.

Ukrainian refugees in Manitoba are supported very well to increase their morals after what they have been through. The Manitoba government is hosting multiple events and different things for Ukrainian refugees in Manitoba. One such event is a summer day camp for refugee children.

This summer, the Manitoba government is giving more than one-hundred-thousand dollars to the Ukrainian Canadian Congress. The money will be used for a nine-week camp for approximately one-hundred-twenty Ukrainian newcomers.

This camp will offer culturally appropriate, trauma-informed mental health care for all children. The camp will focus on different things, such as education, literature, cultural and recreational activities, and so much more. They will also be teaching English literature and language.

“As part of our ongoing, whole-of-government commitment to provide a full continuum of support to newly arrived Ukrainians, we are pleased to partner with Manitoba’s Ukrainian community to provide a positive opportunity for families and their children as they establish new roots here in Manitoba, first and foremost, kids need to be kids. This camp will allow them to regain a sense of normalcy after the unimaginable loss and suffering they have endured.” Premier Heather Stefanson said about the camp.

Moreover, Arina Chychul, a camp participant, has said, “Every day we do a lot of outdoor activities, art and craft, and learn some new facts about Canada and the English language,” when asked about her opinion and feelings about this camp.

Manitobans are doing their best to help Ukrainian newcomers feel like they’re home. In addition to government support, the Manitoba Ukrainian Community is supporting the camp and pitching in funding. All Manitobans are helping Ukrainians until they get back on their feet.

The Queer Space Speaker Series, hosted by Rainbow Resource Centre, celebrated its third year and brought together queer leaders, artists, and activists to discuss community, celebrate identity, and inspire the ongoing fight for queer and human rights.

Attending the event at the Winnipeg Art Gallery, it was immediately clear that community was the centre of conversation. During the pre-event reception, individuals gathered to connect and talk. During the short break in the presentation, people moved from their seats to engage in more discussion of what they had learned and to learn more from the panellists and speakers. These moments of connection and community are more important than ever, as evidenced by the findings of the State of 2SLGBTQ+ Communities in Manitoba survey.Continue Reading
