“On behalf of the Ukrainian people and myself personally I cordially congratulate You and all the people of Canada the 150th anniversary of Canada. We are proud to share a festive moment of this significant date, in particular remembering the contributions of Ukrainians in the creation of identity and cultural diversity of the canadian people, given that the first Ukrainians settled in Canada 125 years ago,” – said Petro Poroshenko.
