Canadian Wheelchair Foundation and Knights of Columbus Wheelchair Mission to Ukraine
This year, from May 9 through May 17, 2016 a group has planned to distribute wheelchairs in very-much needed 
locations in Ukraine, particularly Lviv, Kyiv and mainly Dnipropetrovsk and surrounding area. We have partnered with Caritas Ukraine to receive the shipment, distribute the chairs to the various locations and then arrange for the presentation of some of the chairs by those in our group.
They include the State Deputy Elect Brian Schatz and his wife Lois, the Director of the Wheelchair Program for the Knights of Columbus in Saskatchewan Eugene Achtemichuk along with his wife Brenda and John and Marie Lebersback, all from Regina. From Saskatoon is Ken and Betty-Ann Piecowye and myself, Bishop Bryan Bayda, CSsR, State Chaplain Elect. Also, Christiana Flessner representing the Canadian Wheelchair Foundation will be on the trip as she continues to work tirelessly to improve the lives of thousands around the world with the help of the Knights of Columbus.
A summary of the itinerary is as follows:
