First Nations youth program serves up Bannock, hot dogs in support of wildfire evacuees
The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs hosted a fundraiser to help support wildfire evacuees in Manitoba. The kitchen of a North End leisure centre churned out a bevy of tasty treats Friday to help support Manitoba wildfire evacuees. Eagle's Nest, an Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs job readiness program for First Nations youth, organized the fundraiser. Folks were invited to the Aikins Street Community Health Centre as youth sold Bannock, soup, tacos in a bag, burgers, hot dogs and more. All proceeds go to First Nations families who have been temporarily displaced by wildfires. 'We're just trying to raise some money and help some people out and do what we can,' said Eagle's Nest project coordinator Desiree Martin. According to Friday's fire bulletin, there are 28 active wildfires currently burning out of control. Ten are considered out of control. As of June 5, the Canadian Red Cross has registered about 18,000 evacuees from over 7,100 households. A provincial state of emergency is in effect until June 26.

(Gareth Dillistone / CTV News) It was a true display of Ukrainian culture showcased at the first night of the Poltava Ukrainian Pavillion at the Regina Performing Arts Centre The pavilion is part of the 2025 Mosaic Multicultural Festival. Members of the Poltava School of Dance, along with an ensemble and live orchestra, wowed a crowed of attendees with traditional performances. 'There are approximately 35 dancers. Eight to 10 boys and a lot of girls,' said Dion Tchorzewski, the Ambassador of the Poltava Ukrainian Pavilion. 'Our orchestra was actually founded in 1921. We have an orchestra with our organization for over 100 years and it's continued from there,' he explained. Attendees also had a chance to taste some traditional Ukrainian food. 'People come for our food. We make all our own perogies. We start early in the year and we make them every couple of weeks. Thousands at a time. We have our cabbage rolls, some amazing desserts,' Tchorzewski added. Tchorzewski said the festival is great way for residents of Regina to become immersed in the Ukrainian culture. 'I'm just happy to have everybody come, experience the culture with us. Everybody is welcome in Poltava.' One attendee echoed that sentiment. 'I like learning the new culture. I want to try new food. I like doing that, but it's just a good way to bring my culture to Regina and just experience new things,' explained Keyera Santbergen-Newstead. The Poltava Ukrainian Pavilion will be at the Regina Performing Arts Centre all weekend long with performances running every hour.
