A local dentist has been recognized in the House of Commons for his fundraising efforts at Red Lake Dental Clinic to assist Ukraine in its defence against the Russian Invasion.
Kenora MP Eric Melillo took time this week to commend his actions.
“Dr. Kostyantyn Bulavintsev, who is from Ukraine, seeing Russia’s illegal invasion, has hit especially close to his heart. In an incredible community initiative through his dental clinic he has been accepting donations to support the Ukrainian military.”
Melillo notes “So far they have raised $20,000 and counting and Dr. Kosta has personally committed to matching every single dollar that is contributed. It is simply great to see the generosity in our community but even more so to see the steadfast support for Ukrainian people and for the country of Ukraine, which we know to be a democratic ally and partner. I am proud to say that the Kenora riding stands with the people of Ukraine and that Canada stands with the people of Ukraine.”
You can donate in person at the office at 172 Howey Street or by e-transfer to redlakedental2@yahoo.ca, with the password as Ukraine.
Today, I recognized Red Lake's Dr. Kostyantyn Bulavintsev for his initiative to raise funds for the Ukrainian military.
I am proud of the generosity and support for Ukraine exhibited across the region.
