Manitoba Parents For Ukrainian Education

This years trip was a great success thanks to the teachers and parent volunteers who rode with the 63 grade 8 students. MPUE send thanks and gratitude to them for all the support they provided to ensure the safety of all the V2V riders. We hope you all had great time exploring each stop and possible new friendships made as well.
The Ukrainian Express will ride again in 2027!

The last stop on the 20th Annual Venture to Vegreville adventure was Wanuskewin, Saskatoon, Sk. We had a lunch of bison Mac and cheese watched a performance took in the beauty and stillness of the surrounding landscape. Two busses full of very tired EUBP students, teachers and parents are on their way back to Winnipeg. We hope that the memories created in the last four days will stay with everyone for many years to come.

UFest Edmonton Ukrainian Festival was a short visit for us. We all got a much needed watering about an hour into our time there. We are so grateful for the people who coordinated this beautiful festival! We will be back next year!!!

We had a great visit with Father Dan from the Basilian Fathers Monastery. Father Dan spoke to us about theological symbolism within the Ukrainian Catholic Church. We also visited the Basilian Fathers Museum. Very educational day for everyone.

Another “Giant of the Prairie”. The Pysanka! We were also greeted by the Mayor of Vegreville and a few of town counsellors. What a special day!

The theme today was “Giants of the Prairies”. Mundare has a giant kubassa!

🌿🍃 Another wonderful annual Grade 4 adventure! 🍃🌿

Our Grade 4 students from the English-Ukrainian Bilingual Program enjoyed an unforgettable multicultural field trip to the Leaf and Leo Mol Sculpture Garden at Assiniboine Park.

As part of the Medicine Walk program, students explored the important relationship between people, plants, and the natural world. They learned about traditional plant knowledge, the cultural significance of Indigenous culture, and the importance of caring for the environment. This experience connected to our Science and Social Studies curriculum, helping students deepen their understanding of living things, communities, Indigenous perspectives, and environmental stewardship.

The Leaf provided a unique opportunity to explore plants, landscapes, and cultures from around the world, helping students appreciate the diversity of our global community. Through this multicultural learning experience, students made connections between different cultures, traditions, and ways of understanding the natural world.

Our walk through the Leo Mol Sculpture Garden combined art, history, and culture. Students visited the Taras Shevchenko Monument, creating a meaningful connection to their Ukrainian heritage while learning about the contributions of different cultural communities to Manitoba’s rich cultural landscape.
The day was filled with discovery, curiosity, laughter, and hands-on learning.

What a fantastic opportunity to celebrate multiculturalism, explore nature, strengthen cultural identity, and bring classroom learning to life! 💙💛

Jeff Kozak, an EUBP teacher from Oakbank and Nataliya Sovinska and EUBP teacher from Chief Peguis Middle School have taken on the role of trip tour guide. They have done a fantastic job in keeping everyone informed and entertained as we travel on the busses from stop to stop.
