Dinner to help raise funds in support of Ukrainian and Syrian victims of war

Press Release with Chris edits

War is raging throughout our globe and we often think the impact is so far away.

However, in our own communities, there are people who have fled the conflict zones in Ukraine and Syria – and other places – to find safe haven in Canada.

Indeed, there are many Ukrainians and Syrians who found a safe place to live in Muskoka.

To support as many individuals, particularly the children who are suffering from these traumatic experiences, the Rotary Club of Bracebridge is hosting a fundraising dinner on March 27 from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. Cost to have dinner is $75.

The dinner will be held at Bracebridge Muskoka Lakes Secondary School (BMLSS) with will be treated to traditional Syrian and Ukrainian foods prepared by the BMLSS culinary class.

Leading up to the event the students will learn how to prepare these Syrian and Ukrainian dishes from local Syrian Chef, Berivan Alali of Flavours of Soul and Chef Aleksandr Soloviov, a newcomer from Parry Sound who fled the war in Ukraine.

The BMLSS student band has planned an arrangement of peace-themed music to play for
guests as they enjoy their culinary world tour.

Tickets can be purchased at Rotary Fundraising Dinner.
