To ensure the presence of Ukraine in the western part of Canada the General Consulate of Ukraine will open in Edmonton on September 7, Interfax-Ukraine news agency reports.
This was announced by the Ukrainian Ambassador to Canada, Andriy Shevchenko.

«On September 7 this year, we plan to accept the first citizen of Ukraine in Edmonton and thereby start the work of the Ukrainian Consulate General in Alberta province,» – said Andriy Shevchenko.

«The West of Canada is, you can say, the Ukrainian land: 15% of Ukrainians are in Manitoba, 14% in Saskatchewan, 13% in Alberta. We are talking about hundreds of thousands of Canadians of Ukrainian descent, so it is very important for them to see the Ukrainian presence … If you live in Vancouver or in Calgary, it will cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars to get to our consulate in Toronto, as well as several days of time,» – the ambassador specified.

As The Journalist reported earlier, Ukrainian Canadian Congress representatives during the celebration of Independence Day of Ukraine in Canada, have wrote support letters to Ukrainian captives of the Russian Federation.
