It was unbelievable, actually,\u0022 said fundraiser organizer Crystal Kolt. \u0022It was really moving and emotional\u003B people were in tears.\u0022
Flin Flon, a city of just over 5,000 located on the border between Saskatchewan and Manitoba, is home to many Ukrainian immigrants and refugees and their descendents.
The group held a fundraiser on April 10, where they sold Ukrainian food and raffle tickets. The money they raised will be donated to the Red Cross.“It was just this storm,” she said. “The food was gone in 25 minutes. We had 100 litres of borscht, around 100 loaves of paska that were donated by our local co-op, and people made all sorts of ethnic food and meals — it all sold.”
Kolt’s husband is a musician so, a couple days before the fundraiser, she had asked if he would be willing to play piano.Article content
