Supporting Ukrainian Refugees

A group of residents in our very own neck of the woods — the West Hillhurst/Hillhurst area — are welcoming Ukrainian refugee families into their homes. So far, over a dozen Ukrainian families have arrived, and the hope is to bring a total of fifty families to the Hillhurst area. For more Information, visit the West Hillhurst For Ukraine Facebook page or calgary4ukraine.com.
