Dancers with the National Ballet of Ukraine are coming to B.C. to entertain and also raise funds for people who live in the war-torn country.

A cross-Canada tour will include three performances of “Nadyia Ukraine” at Vancouver’s The Centre theatre (777 Homer St.) from Feb. 5 to 7, 2024.

The tour title means “hope for Ukraine” in that country’s language.

Sponsorships and donations will fund The Olena Zelenska Foundation and HUMANITE, which work with Ukrainian families “to provide crisis relief, refugee aid and seed long-term projects to rebuild the country once peace prevails,” according to a news release.
