As communities across the county show their support for Ukraine, Dufferin County could be the next to join the wave of solidarity.
Dufferin County Warden Wade Mills announced in a press release last Friday (March 3) that he would be bringing a motion forward at the next County Council meeting seeking support to fly the Ukrainian flag at County offices.
“We have all been horrified by recent news of the Russian military’s unprovoked attacks on Ukraine. Dufferin County lends our community’s collective voice to the millions of other voices around the world seeking up to vehemently condemn this aggression,” said Mills in the statement. “On behalf of Council, staff and our Dufferin County community, I offer our thoughts and support for the Ukrainian people as they defend their freedom and autonomy.”
Communities in Dufferin County including Shelburne, Orangeville and Mono have already passed motions to have the Ukrainian flag fly at their respective town halls.
In the statement, Mills also encouraged residents to show support for the people of Ukraine and Ukrainian-Canadians by donating to the Canadian Red Cross Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Appeal.
The next Dufferin County Council meeting is scheduled to be held on March 10 at 7 p.m.
