The Ukrainian Ambassador to Canada, Yulia Kovaliv, made her way to Eganville, Ont. Wednesday to receive a generous donation from the valley community.
Nearly $110,000 was raised at a Ukrainian fundraising event June 17, held by the Eganville Leader newspaper.
"I was very warmly welcomed here and we do thank all of the Canadians whose efforts were there in standing with Ukraine," Kovaliv told CTV News Ottawa. "We can't even imagine what they're facing," Renfrew County Warden Debbie Robinson said. "But we know how important it is to have family and to be some place safe for your children."
