A conversation with Her Excellency Yuliya Kovaliv, Ukraine's Ambassador to Canada.

The Norman Paterson School of International Affairs at Carleton University, and St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church Ottawa would like to invite you to a speech to be given by Her Excellency Yuliya Kovaliv, Ukraine’s ambassador to Canada, entitled “Prospects for Ukraine: Ending the War and Afterwards”. The event will take place at St. Andrew’s Church, 82 Kent St., Ottawa at 7:00 pm on Wednesday, October 9, 2024. The speech will be followed by a question-and-answer session with Ambassador Kovaliv and a reception. There will also be a short musical presentation by the Ottawa Ukrainian Children’s Choir to open the evening.

There is ample free parking available across Wellington Street from St. Andrew’s near the Supreme Court and the National Archives after 6:00 pm. The nearest paid parking lot is under the Mariott Hotel at Queen and Kent streets. The Lyon LRT station is only two blocks away from St. Andrew's, using the east side exit. The Church is elevator accessible.

This event is free and open to the general public, but attendees are required to register on Eventbrite by noon on October 9 and to bring their Eventbrite tickets with them, either printed or on their smartphones, in order to be admitted.

Donations will be accepted at the event by cash or card and first used to help cover the modest event costs. We expect to receive more donations than needed to cover costs. The surplus will be contributed to the Ukrainian government’s official United24: Rebuild Ukraine projects.

Attendees will be able to ask the Ambassador questions from the floor after her speech. You may also submit questions in advance to mensfellowship@standrewsottawa.ca.
