First Day Of CNUF!

It’s Day One of the Canadian National Ukrainian Festival!

Things are already going on up at the hill, with the big kick-off later tonight.

CNUF Vice President Jan Sirski encourages everyone to come out for Day One.

“People should come out today because this is just a wonderful, wonderful way to start and celebrate. We have our official opening tonight at 7:30 on the main grandstand and as always we have amazing grandstands.”

She shares with us her thoughts about getting day one started.

“Well, I think we’re ready. We’re looking forward to the weather, it’s pretty hot already, hot and humid, but we’ll go through it. We’ve got our talent competitions off and running, so we have lots of people enjoying that already. All the vendors are set up and the workshops are going to start at one.”

Taking the bus home is an option this year for those attending the Canadian National Ukrainian Festival.

Buses are running hourly all three days from 10:30 at night till 1:30.

Sirski encourages everyone getting home safe after having fun up on the hill.

“It’s a very proactive thing to do, especially if you’ve had a little bit of fun at the Cossack Tavern. We really encourage people to take that bus shuttle.”

It only costs 5 dollars per ride. There are 4 stops this year, they are:
