Culture Inspires: Sharing a vision

At TSF we believe that culture inspires. It inspires who we are, our values and beliefs, and the future we hope to shape. As we continue to build community and fuel creativity, we invite you to share our vision of a Canada that always acknowledges the contributions of Ukrainian Canadians and celebrates Ukrainian Canadian culture.

Thank you to our community for the photos and virtuoso Vasyl Popadiuk for the music that inspired this video.
