On July 17th, the Canada-Ukraine Chamber of Commerce (CUCC) proudly supported a special farewell event in honour of Ambassador Yuliya Kovaliv, marking the conclusion of her impactful diplomatic mission to Canada. The event brought together leaders from the Ukrainian-Canadian community, business sector, and government to recognize Ambassador Kovaliv’s outstanding service and dedication over the past three years.

During the evening, CUCC President Zenon Potichny was honoured with a Certificate of Appreciation from Madam Ambassador in recognition of his ongoing efforts to strengthen Canada–Ukraine relations. The certificate acknowledged his leadership in advancing bilateral cooperation, supporting Ukraine during a time of crisis, and fostering the growth of the Ukrainian community in Canada.

Ambassador Kovaliv’s tenure in Canada has been defined by tireless advocacy, strategic vision, and deep engagement with stakeholders across both countries. Her leadership during one of the most challenging times in Ukraine’s history has been instrumental in building strong partnerships and mobilizing critical support for Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction.

CUCC expresses its deepest gratitude to Ambassador Kovaliv for her partnership, leadership, and unwavering support. Her legacy will continue to inspire the work of CUCC and the broader Ukrainian-Canadian community. We wish her every success in the next chapter of her journey.
