Niagarka Organization began its journey as Niagara Support Ukraine, founded on March 27, 2022, during one of the most challenging times for the Ukrainian people.
What started as a volunteer initiative to collect humanitarian aid, support displaced families, and help newcomers settle in the Niagara region quickly grew into a strong, caring, and creative community movement
Our first public presentation took place on May 29, 2022, when we were invited by Orest Halushka to participate in the creation of the Ukrainian Community Town Hall and Networking Opportunity in Etobicoke. It was our first chance to share the story of Niagara Support Ukraine, talk about our purpose and goals, and highlight the real challenges newcomers faced in Niagara — from transportation to housing and employment. Even then, we believed that with unity and kindness, everything would work out.
