Prominent Ukrainian Delegation visits Winnipeg
On Friday, July 6th 2007 the Centre for Ukrainian Canadian Studies, University of Manitoba, facilitated a seminar for a delegation of 22 individuals, consisting of academics and business professionals, from the cities of Dnipropetrovsk, Kyiv, Poltava and Chernihiv in Ukraine. It is within the mandate of the Centre to encourage ties with Ukraine and this seminar is one of such initiatives. The group, which was visiting the University of Manitoba, included engineers, nuclear physicists, economists, a medical oncologist, ecologists and business people. The team was hosted in Canada by the Canada-Ukraine International Corporation Inc.
The delegation was greeted by the Very Reverend Roman Bozyk, Acting Principal of St. Andrew’s College and Dr. Denis Hlynka, Acting Director of Centre for Ukrainian Canadian Studies. Dr. Hlynka presented the background of the Centre, its programs and projects. Dr. Orest Cap and Dr. Roman Yereniuk, spoke of their educational and technical projects aimed at linking Canada with Ukraine and encouraged further co-operative projects with the cities represented, especially Dnipropetrovsk. Members of the team made short presentations in their fields, including nuclear physics [reclamation of nuclear waste] and green ecology [a project of the oblast of Poltava]. The mutual exchange of ideas, projects and programs solicited an interesting discussion.
Earlier in the day, the team was hosted by the office of International Relations, the Faculty of Engineering, and the Faculty of Human Ecology (Department of Textiles and Clothing).
The hosting of the delegation proved to be an excellent exchange of mutual ideas whereby both sides gained further insights on co-operation between Canada and Ukraine.
