Canada-Ukraine Chamber of Commerce recently had the honor of hosting our esteemed members, partners, and friends at our Annual General Meeting on March 26th, 2024. It was an occasion to reflect on the remarkable journey of the CUCC over the past year and to outline our ambitious plans for the future.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Consul General of Ukraine in Toronto, Oleh Nikolenko, for his inspiring opening remarks, which set the tone for a truly engaging session. His insights provided valuable perspective as we charted our course forward.
A special highlight of the event was the enlightening presentation by Joanne Tognarelli, shedding light on how Export Development Canada (EDC) supports Canadian companies seeking to invest or collaborate with Ukraine. Ms. Tognarelli’s insights offered invaluable guidance to our members, empowering them to explore opportunities in the Ukrainian market with confidence.
Additionally, we were honored to receive a video address from Vira Savchenko, CEO of BDO Ukraine, followed by a presentation from BDO on their comprehensive Investment Guide for Ukraine. These contributions underscored the depth of expertise and resources available to support business endeavors between Canada and Ukraine.
We were excited to announce the newly elected Board of Directors, with whom we eagerly anticipate collaborating. Their leadership and dedication will undoubtedly propel the CUCC to new heights, further strengthening our mission of fostering economic ties between Canada and Ukraine.
None of our achievements would be possible without the unwavering support of our members and partners. Your commitment and engagement drive our organization forward and inspire us to continue our pursuit of excellence. We extend our sincerest gratitude for standing by us and contributing to our collective success.
As we look ahead, let us reaffirm our commitment to nurturing strong ties between Canada and Ukraine. Together, we have the power to drive growth, innovation, and prosperity for both nations. Through collaboration and partnership, we are making a tangible difference in the lives of businesses and communities on both sides of the globe.
