Today, MP Peter Julian and Holy Eucharist Ukrainian Catholic Church host a community vigil to commemorate the 300 + victims of the Mariupol Theater attack two weeks ago. The community is encouraged to bring new or gently used children’s or women’s shoes to commemorate the victims of this massacre.
“This shoe memorial is inspired by a similar memorial set up last week at Budapest, Hungary to commemorate the 300+ victims of the Mariupol Theater attack two weeks ago. We must stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine. Canadians are watching the invasion of Ukraine by Russian dictator Vladimir Putin in horror. Many of us want to help but are unsure how. The community is coming together today to support Ukraine with monetary donations to help Ukrainian refugees and support humanitarian relief,” said NDP MP Peter Julian (New Westminster-Burnaby).
“Thank you to Mr. Julian, the children of Ukrainian Eparchial School Ridne Slovo and the community for the support for the people of Ukraine. This shoe memorial is a symbolic way to commemorate all the victims and survivors of this horrific war crime against Ukraine. Humanitarian aid is desperately needed. We are collecting donations via our church website https://en.uahelp.ca/ to help Ukrainian refugees with visa application forms, plane tickets and insurance, temporary accommodation and community settlement,” said Rev. Mykhailo Ozorovych.

Dear Neighbours,
I hope you and your family are doing well.
It’s an honour to serve as your Member of Parliament in New Westminster – Burnaby, one of the most culturally diverse communities in Canada.
On Monday, New Democrats announced the implementation of the NDP’s national dental care program, which will save millions of families across Canada around $1,300 a year. In my riding of New Westminster – Burnaby, over 26,000 seniors, people living with a disability, and families struggling to pay the bills will no longer have to choose between a visit to the dentist or keep a roof over their head.
