Refugees from Ukraine build new lives in Prince George
MATTHEW HILLIER Citizen Staff
The Prince George Share Hope Refugee Support Society has continued to offer aid to displaced Ukrainians seeking refuge in Northern B.C. The organization, which operates under the Roman Catholic Diocese of Prince George, recently released statistics on the number of Ukrainians it has helped resettle in Prince George since Russia invaded their country three years ago. So far, Share Hope has settled 374 people from 147 families since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. One of those families is Olena Kramarenko’s, whose transition to Canada was made much easier by Share Hope. Kramarenko is from central Ukraine and left the country with her daughters shortly after the war started. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE
