The COVID-19 pandemic has been challenging for all of. It goes without saying that the most memorable part about of our club is our community, getting to hang out with one another, and sharing in our culture. Unfortunately, COVID has made gathering together virtually impossible. As our executive team sat at home alone, missing each-other and missing our zabavas, we consoled ourselves the only way we knew how. With a warm bowl of borsch of course!
It was then that we were struck with an idea! Borsch is the quintessential heart of the Ukrainian Community, why not use it to bring us together once again! This past weekend we did just that. We hosted a very successful virtual borsch workshop hosted by our President Chase Gargus.

If you’re familiar with Ukrainian Culture here in Canada, you’ll know just how important of a role food plays in preserving our identity against the backdrop of the Canadian experience. As Ukrainians moved across the land, we brought with us our traditional culinary practices forever changing the landscape. No seriously! If you ever doubted how much we value our traditional food, go take a drive through Alberta. Ever heard of the “Giants of the Prairies”? We’ve immortalized our favourite treats has huge statues across the prairies. A giant kovbasa in Mundare, a colossal Vareniki in Glendon you get the idea.
