Who we are
The East Coast Ukrainian Association is a registered non-profit organization in Halifax, NS.
We focus our efforts on highlighting Ukrainian cultural presence and contributing to the diversity of Nova Scotia’s cultural landscape through establishing annual cultural events such as charitable concerts and festivals. We hope to bring our community together by providing opportunities to participate in both organizing and attending these events.
It is run by a volunteer Board of Directors: Olha Khaperska (President), Stanislav Serebriakov (Vice-President), Denys Khaperskyy (Treasurer & Secretary), Iryna Vorobiova and Maryna Gorobets-Alberti (Members-at-Large). We rely on volunteers to run our events, and we always need helping hands! Join us to advance Ukrainian culture and build a strong Ukrainian community in Nova Scotia and Atlantic Canada.
All of our fundraising events are dedicated to Ukraine and her victory.
Our logo
Just as our name, our logo emphasizes our connected identities.
A SAND DOLLAR is often a symbol of coastal life; it also has many symbolical meanings including unity and resilience. BARVINOK (PERIWINKLE) is a well-known flower in Ukraine; it is often a symbol of life, love, and eternity. Combined together, they capture the sprit of what it means to be a Ukrainian on the East Coast.
