Postcards to the Front (Canada / Канада) facilitates Canadians sending postcards with messages of support and encouragement to Defenders of Ukraine. As at the end of 2025, more than 17,000 postcards messages have travelled from Canada to Ukraine’s front lines.
Helen Bajorek and Jean-Michel Komarnicki have invited Canadians to write postcards by holding information and postcard-writing sessions at Legion Halls, in schools, in church basements at numerous community events, and even via Zoom with organizations across Canada. Their workshop includes an introduction to writing Ukrainian, with encouragement to try to write at least one sentence in Ukrainian to foster a sense of solidarity through the written word. Hint: you don’t have to be perfect!
This workshop will have three parts, running approximately 90 minutes:
1. Introduction of the project and positive impacts of postcards at the front lines – 15-20 minutes.
2. Introduction to the Ukrainian alphabet, along with some practice and provision of some helpful phrases translated for use in writing messages of support - 10 minutes.
3. Postcard writing – 45-60 minutes.
