Community Rallies After Fire
The fire, which broke out over the weekend, left the hall with structural damage and destroyed some interior spaces. No injuries were reported, but the hall remains closed until further notice. The GoFundMe page, set up by hall administrators, aims to raise funds for immediate repairs and to support ongoing cultural programs.
“We are heartbroken but grateful for the outpouring of support,” said a hall spokesperson. “The Ukrainian Hall is more than a building; it's a gathering place for our community. We are determined to rebuild and reopen as soon as possible.”
How to Help
Donations can be made through the official GoFundMe page, which has already received contributions from local businesses and individuals. The hall is also seeking volunteers for cleanup and restoration efforts. Updates will be posted on their social media channels.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by Regina Fire and Protective Services. The hall plans to work with insurance adjusters and contractors to expedite repairs.
