Greetings to all Ps& Bs Members!

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to a new year at UCPBA Toronto. This is of course my 1st Online Newsletter, which I am presenting on behalf of the new 2009 Board of the UCPBA Toronto.

First of all, I would like to personally thank Lydia Kowalyk, and the rest of last year's Executive and Board, for all their hard work on behalf of the UCPBA Toronto. 2007-2008 were very busy years for the Association and we were able to hold many successful events and provide some great support to the Ukrainian Business community in Toronto. I know that I speak for all the Members of the UCPBA Toronto when I say thank you to Lydia, Bohdan Matsura and Irene Nazarewych for all their hard work.

The new Board is committed to building and expanding on last year’s initiatives. Earlier this year, we held our first Board of Director’s meeting. It became clear to me that we have a team that is committed to keeping the UCPBA Toronto a strong and vibrant part of the community in Toronto.

Our members can look forward to a year of with many interesting events. In the coming months, we plan to provide the members with events that will be both entertaining and relevant. Keep checking with this website for announcements on these events, and events held in the wider Ukrainian Canadian Community. And of course, we will be holding our annual Golf Tournament which is being held on May 21st.

Finally, you will notice over the next month or so, that this website will be getting revamped. We hope to be able to provide our members with a more user-friendly, accessible website where they can turn to for all sorts of community and UCPBA news.

Please feel free to contact me or any of our Board members if you have any questions, comments or suggestions for us.
