August 24 is Ukrainian Independence Day, a day when the Ukrainian community across Canada traditionally gathers to celebrate. This year, Federation of Canadian Municipalities and the Ukrainian Canadian Congress are encouraging local leaders to participate in a special Day of Action to show support and solidarity for Ukraine and the Ukrainian people by raising the Ukrainian flag at your city hall on August 24, and lighting public monuments, buildings and signs in blue and yellow on August 23 and 24.
In response to this request, the Douglas Park Spirit Square will be lit up in blue and yellow lights this evening and again tomorrow evening. Additionally, the Ukrainian flag will be flown below the City of Langley flag at City Hall on Wednesday, August 24.
