Zuzak GRC Report; Wed., Apr. 02, 2008

 (1) Holodomor:  There have been no new additions to the Holodomor Files. However, the details of the “International Remembrance Flame” travelling around the world and its sojourn in Canada are being worked out. As of today, the proposed Canadian itinerary is:

April 18, 2008 (Fri.)  Arrival of the flame in Toronto. (Ceremonial acceptance of the flame in Canada prior to the opening  of the Holodomor exhibit in Toronto's City Hall.)
April 20 (Sun.) Winnipeg, MB
Easter break
April 28 (Mon.) Yorkton, SK
April 29 (Tue.) Regina - Saskatoon, SK
April 30 (Wed.) North Battleford, SK
April 30, May 1-2 (Wed.-Fri.) Vegreville - Edmonton - Red Deer - Calgary, AB
May 3 (Sat.) Vancouver, BC
May 4 (Mon.) Flame travels to Seattle, WA
May 22 (Thu.) Flame returns to Canada (Niagara - St. Catharines, ON)
May 23 (Fri.) Toronto, ON
May 24 (Sat.) Hamilton, ON
May 24 (Sat.) Montreal, QC
May 26 (Mon.) Ottawa, ON
May 27 (Tue.) Flame returns to United States

The details for the Alberta events are still not finalized, since the official opening of the Mazankowski Heart Institute on May 01, 2008, requiring the presence of Alberta’s politicians, conflicts with an Edmonton Holodomor event on that day.

That portion of the blog appears to have been condensed as a Macleans article at
