For almost 80 years the Ukrainian National Federation has been the centre of cultural education for Canada’s Ukrainian community.

The UNF Toronto Branch’s Dorist program aims to usher the youngest members of our community into their Ukrainian culture and identity through, music, song, dance, reading and writing.

The Dorist program originated in the 1940’s and has, for decades provided children ages 6-10 with the educational foundation they need to begin their cultural life in the Ukrainian Canadian Community. The program runs in a mix of English & Ukrainian and is designed to prepare children for entry in to the Ukrainian Saturday School system, but aims to exclude no one regardless of language ability in English or Ukrainian.

Program Features:

• Introduction to Ukrainian Dance
• Instruction in Traditional Ukrainian Songs
• Arts & Crafts
• Reading and Story Telling
• Excursions to local attractions and events

Program Schedule:

Every Saturday Morning (Season runs from September to June) 10AM-1PM
