UCPBA Ottawa Trade show - Media Advisory
March 16, 2000

Distinguished Lawyer and Scholar, Ed Ratushny
To Open Third Annual Trade Show

Ottawa...The Ukrainian Canadian Professional and Business Association of Ottawa has announced that its Third Annual Trade Show will be held on Sunday, April 2, 2000 in Ottawa.
The Trade Show will be open to the general public from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Everyone is welcome.
Guest speaker Edward Ratushny, a law professor at the University of Ottawa and recipient of the prestigious Justice Award from the Canadian Institute for the Administration of Justice, will deliver a talk on " The Challenge of Establishing the Rule of Law in Ukraine".
"For decades, Ukraine has been subjected to a legal regime dedicated to the promotion of Communism rather than respect for the rights of individuals," stated Mr. Ratushny. "An independent and impartial Judiciary based on the Rule of Law is crucial to establishing an environment in which business may develop with confidence, without fear of arbitrary treatment by Government. The challenge is formidable but must be met."
Mr. Ratushny has had a distinguished legal and academic career, working as a consultant or counsel on law reform efforts in Canada since the 1970's. He has been an expert adviser on judicial matters, independent tribunals and policing. He has also been an adjudicator in human rights, labour and sports cases.
The Third Annual Trade Show hosted by the Ukrainian Canadian Professional and Business Association of Ottawa will be held on Sunday, April 2, 2000 at the Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral Hall, 1000 Byron Avenue. The Trade Show will be open to the general public from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Ed Ratushny's talk on the Rule of Law in Ukraine will be delivered at 2:00 PM. Everyone is welcome.

UCPBA of Ottawa makes news in Edmonton

Thanks, Andriju, for digging this up
PUBLICATION: Edmonton Journal

EDITION: FINAL
SECTION: Top Copy
PAGE: A3
BYLINE: Ric Dolphin, Journal Staff Writer

DATELINE: Mundare
ILLUSTRATION: Photo: File, Ric Dolphin, The Journal / Cheryl, Ed
and Jane Stawnichy of Stawnichy's Meat Processing, known just as
the `Mundare sausage' firm
s
Mundare `cooks up' 14m
garlic ring
The noble sausage should get the
recognition it deserves when Mundare erects a statue to it later
this year. Plans calls for the statue to resemble a 14-metre
garlic ring. It will sit atop a small podium surrounded by a
small park and picnic tables and floodlit at night.
``This will be a tribute to sausage
making in the area in the last 100 years,'' says Mundare's
economic development chief Tracy Jordan. Every other community
has something.''
``Andrew's got the duck,
Vegreville's got the egg, Glendon's got the perogy,'' says
Mundare Mayor Ed Stawnichy, listing some of the giant icons in
nearby towns.
Stawnichy, 56, proprietor of
Stawnichy's Meat Processing, is perhaps the most famous sausage
maker in the area, having implanted the phrase ``Mundare
sausage'' into the lexicon of north and central Alberta. He has
built his father's company so that it ships about
$4-million-worth of pork garlic coils, bologna, pepperoni and
wieners from a plant about to be doubled in size and, in
Stawnichy's words, to ``go national.'' Encouragement came
Tuesday when it was learned that Stawnichy's pepperoni had been
named best tasting in Canada by the
Ukrainian Canadian Professional Business Association at a
sausage tasting in Ottawa. Stawnichy says he has
distanced himself from council discussions about the statue,
which will cost $40,000. About $14,000 has been collected by
Stawnichy's Meats from suppliers, another $6,000 has been
committed in goods and services from volunteers. The rest,
Mundare hopes, will be provided by the federal government's
Millennium Fund, which the people of Donalda, who will unveil a
14-metre coal-oil lamp on July 1, are also trying to tap. Coun.
Alec Bendera, originator of the colossal kolbassa concept, says,
``Think of the popularity of the Mundare sausage around the
world. ``Why not build on that? And we have a beautiful spot for
it, right near the highway.''
