The Troyanda Ukrainian Dance Concert marked the first time dancers have been able to showcase their skills since 2019. It was a festive atmosphere celebrating the skills of dancers in the Ukrainian National Hall, he said, but emotions were tempered as they also wanted to honour the ongoing war in Ukraine. As part of the special occasion, participants wrote down why they love dancing and Ukraine on Ukrainian flags placed at the entrance of the Ukrainian National Hall.

Freshly baked bread is pulled from an oven and placed on cooling racks at KUB Bakery in Winnipeg, originally known as Kucher’s Ukrainian Bakery when it opened in 1923. The bakery produces between 30,000 and 40,000 hand shaped loaves every week.

Head baker Kirby Coombe weighs a piece of multigrain dough.

KUB Bakery moved to its current production facility—a building originally build by New Flyer in the 1960s to assemble transit buses—after its North End location burnt down in 2008. A photo of the original factory and shop hangs by the entrance.

Bags of flour await use at KUB Bakery. Co-owner Ross Einfeld said the price of flour and other grains has increased dramatically in recent weeks.

Kirby Coombe uses a step ladder to check on the contents of a large mixer before preparing dough balls for proving.

Ha Doan uses a cart to push roughly cut dough to a work station.

Rodrigo Lim and Alfe Deguisman prepare a tray of buns for the proving chamber at KUB Bakery.

Ha Doan cuts a long roll of dough swirled with sugar and cinnamon into loaves at KUB Bakery.

Lisa Perkovic and Ross Einfeld co-own the 99-year-old bakery, along with their brother Jeff Einfeld.
