Each year, Canadians of Ukrainian heritage celebrate their Christmas and New Year - Malanka - two weeks after the rest of us.
This year, the Ukrainian Club of Abbotsford's event featured the Yevshan dancers and a delicious traditional meal.
More than 140 participated this this year's event held at Sts. Joachim and Ann's Church hall in Aldergrove.
