On Friday the Edmonton Heritage Festival Association (EHFA) Board decided to ban the Russian Pavilion from this year;s Heritage Days. They said after meeting with both the Ukrainian and Russian pavilions they were unable to come up with a solution. In addition the EHFA board said it received a number of threats but did not specify what they were.

I think the Ukrainian Community missed an opportunity to take a conciliatory role, extend forgiveness and acceptance and even stand with the Russians in a show of solidarity and peace. What an example that could have been to the world.
