Video recalls newspaper's 90 years

WINNIPEG - Ukrainian Voice, a newspaper established in 1910 in Winnipeg, has launched a 90th anniversary video of its history titled "Headlines: 90 Years of the Ukrainian Voice Weekly (1910-2000)."

The video presents the historical background to the newspaper and indirectly also the history of Ukrainians in Canada.

The official unveiling took place on May 6, at R.B. Russell High School Auditorium, in Winnipeg.

The video producer is Bill Wsiaki, an award-winning videographer. He carefully chose historic film footage and included over 200 historic pictures in the 72-minute video. The video incudes footage of interviews with 12 prominent Ukrainian Canadian scholars and community members. A number of historic scenes were recreated for the video.

"Headlines" was made possible due to the funding of the Canadian Millennium Partnership Program and the donations of supporters of the newspaper.
