As I watch the tragic events in the Ukraine unfold, my thoughts turn to those of Ukrainian descent in our own community. We stand with you in offering our condolences to all who remain at risk in the Ukraine. Your ancestors arrived in Timmins over many generations and their contributions to Timmins, as well as your own, cannot be denied. The Ukrainian culture is part of our City’s past, present and future.

We are proud that the Ukrainian flag flies in our Schumacher Flag Park and today, we have also raised the country’s flag at City Hall in honour of the people of the Ukraine. We stand together in support our Ukrainian residents, neighbors, and friends here in Timmins.
