Every year Ukrainians in Canada observe an unforgotten historical tragedy that occurred during the early 1930s in Ukraine.

This month is important for the Ukrainian community across Canada and in particular for Ukrainian Canadians in Winnipeg to remember the victims and the awareness of the Holodomor (man-made-famine) of 1932-33.
