Dr. Roman Petryshyn |
|
|
It is with great pleasure that we share this short documentary, Visionary Collaborations: The Life and Work of Dr. Roman Petryshyn, produced by the Ukrainian Resource and Development Centre with filmmaker Brandy Yanchyk.
Roman Petryshyn was the founding director of the Ukrainian Resource and Development Centre at Grant MacEwan University where he held the Drs. Peter and Doris Kule Chair in Ukrainian Community and International Development until 2015. For six years Roman Petryshyn served as a director of the Ukrainian Canadian Foundation of Taras Shevchenko, three of those years as its president from 1994-1996. In December 2021 he was invested as a Member of the Order of Canada.
Roman Petryshyn is best known for his visionary projects. With a very clear understanding of the potential of the Ukrainian community in Canada he was an advocate of multiculturalism and to this day promotes organizations that strengthen the role of our community in Canadian society and abroad. |

Monthly giving is a win-win! |
|
|
There are many benefits of monthly giving including the convenience of donating with less of a strain on your charitable giving budget. Instead of dealing with the year-end stress that comes with the desire to support your favourite charities you can arrange for monthly donations that will be barely noticed throughout the year.
In turn, the steady income provided by your monthly donations will empower us to take bolder steps and engage with initiatives on a larger, far-reaching scale. Your monthly contribution – regardless of the amount – helps us plan for tomorrow!
We invite you to join our Builders of Tomorrow circle of monthly donors.
It’s easy to participate! Donate online at this link https://bit.ly/3ewbNk2 or call us toll-free at 1-866-524-5314 and we’ll get you set up.
