One of the strongest organizations working to bring Holodomor Awareness to our communities has to be the Holodomor National Awareness Tour. Created through a coalition of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress, the Holodomor Research and Education Consortium and the Ukrainian Canadian Research and Documentation Centre, the Holodomor National Awareness Tour works to raise awareness of the Holodomor while promoting Canadian values like human rights, civility and democracy. The Holodomor National Awareness tour operates a mobile classroom which they tour across the country to schools and communities teaching people about the Holodomor. This year, we were lucky enough to bring the Holodomor tour bus to the University of Victoria Campus. This was truly an amazing experience not only for our members but for the greater UVic student body as well. The mobile classroom was brought directly onto the UVic quad where hundreds of students were able to stop and speak with their educators.
