How Businesses and Canadians Can Help Ukraine |
|
Like many Canadians, we are appalled by the further Russian invasion of Ukraine. We support efforts by Canada and its allies to take strong measures to end the conflict. The recent actions by the Russian government strike at the rule of law and international norms, which are the foundations of our democratic societies and our economic system.
We express our solidarity with the Ukrainian people and the Ukrainian business community during these tragic times for their country.
For those that would like to help, we have prepared links to the specific areas of greatest need that outline meaningful ways to assist and make donations.

Please welcome new members Jessica Jacobs, Tricia McDonald and their team at The Yoga Junction to the Airdrie Chamber of Commerce!
It all began as a women’s only retreat business and has evolved into a growing inclusive community.
The Yoga Junction is a traditional yoga studio that offers both yoga and meditation classes as well as sound healing & Reiki. Built on diversity & inclusion, we welcome anyone & everyBODY. Located in beautiful Old Town Airdrie, Alberta.
Jessica's partner Tricia joined the movement in 2021 and together they opened a studio space in Airdrie, Alberta (during the pandemic!) that encompasses the same culture that the company began with but now offers that to everyone who is interested in exploring community through yoga and connection in a studio environment.
The Yoga Junction hosts retreats & workshops, and now welcomes you into their studio where you are liberated to be authentically you. A place where you can show up exactly as you are, without judgement.
