Zorya Ukrainian Dance Association performed for refugees in Atikokan this past weekend.
ATIKOKAN — Thunder Bay’s Zorya Ukrainian Dance Association travelled to Atikokan last weekend to perform a special concert for the Ukrainian refugees who have made Atikokan their home since the Russian invasion began in February 2022.
“It was a good feeling to organize it and a wonderful feeling to have a happy ending. During the [Ukrainian] anthem at the very end, I had a hard time,” Zorya’s Dance school coordinator Alice Chony said while holding back tears. “It’s interesting. Like in Canada someone who come earlier, like 50 years ago, saved this culture and bring [it to Canada] and show. At some point, it can be lost, but now they save it in Thunder Bay. It’s so beautiful” said Cerhiibatarchuk.
Cerhiibatarchuk said, “it translates to ‘you're powerful’. It translates that we can both enjoy, but also, we can feel ache inside, and we can come together and continues to live.” When asked how Zorya was able to bring their concert to Atikokan, Chony said, “it all sort of fell into place.”
