As the Russian invasion of Ukraine continued last spring, a small group from the Strait area put out a call for volunteers to join the Strait2Ukraine humanitarian group. The intention was to come together to see ease the transition of Ukrainian refugees moving to the region.

PORT HAWKESBURY: The Strait2Ukraine group organized three fundraisers, the first was headlined by a live performance from Mary Janet MacDonald and her popular online cooking show “Tunes and Wooden Spoons,” which raised over $9,300.

Accompanying this initiative was the sale of Bruce MacKinnon’s Ukrainian editorial cartoon which garnered over $5,100.

Closing out the efforts was an auction which brought in $16,600.

Strait2Ukraine reached out to the Cape Breton YMCA which agreed to provide all administrative supports for the group so that the $31,000 raised could be dedicated to the project.
