A Ukrainian cold buffet will be served. The mayor has been invited and the organizers hope to make this a media event.

Tickets for the event are $90. Proceeds will go to support the UCC Toronto and BCU Foundation's "New Hope Fund" in support of Ukrainian nationals arriving in Canada and in critical need of resettlement.
