A tremendous honour to host Ukraine’s First Lady Olena Zelenska at the Atlas Institute for Veterans and Families.
We are hoping that the work we have done here in Canada can serve as a guide for Ukraine as they embark on their journey of reconstruction and recovery.
During @JustinTrudeau's visit to Kyiv, I have proposed a partnership between the 🇺🇦 Lisova Pisnya Center and the 🇨🇦 Atlas Institute to improve the rehabilitation of veterans. Today, we signed a memorandum of cooperation and have big plans to improve help provided to our people.
