More than 80 Ukrainian-Canadian post-secondary students signed up to participate in a virtual Mega Social event held on March 26, organized by Ukrainian students’ clubs across Canada.
The Mega Social was organized by 11 university students’ clubs in total. These included the McMaster Ukrainian Students’ Association, the Ukrainian Students’ Club at Ryerson, the Ukrainian Students’ Association at Western University, the University of Ottawa Ukrainian Students’ Club, the Ukrainian Students’ Club at the University of Toronto, the Queen’s University Ukrainian Students’ Association, Carleton’s Ukrainian Students’ Club, the Ukrainian Students’ Club at York University and the University of Guelph’s Ukrainian Students’ Club.
The organizing university clubs outside of Ontario included the McGill Ukrainian Students’ Association from Montreal and the University of Victoria Ukrainian Students’ Society located in Victoria, B.C.
“Our goal going into this event was to have a final event of the year that everyone would remember,” said Alana Kohut, co-president of the McMaster Ukrainian Students’ Association and co-organizer of the Mega Social.
“I believe we achieved this goal as people are still talking about our social to this day. We see social media posts of…people just reminiscing on the whole year we had together as Ukrainian students’ clubs across Canada.”
The idea for the Mega Social came from the McMaster Ukrainian Students’ Association in hopes of having one last event before the end of the academic year.
