With just weeks to go until the holidays, a special Christmas market drew Sunday shoppers to the Holy Trinity Cathedral on Main Street to buy gifts made by Ukrainian newcomers. Yuliia Okhrimenko helped organize the market, which had 23 vendors, many of which are women with children. So they're alone here only with their children and they need support, not just psychological but they need money," Okhrimenko explained. Maryna Zadavych has been in Winnipeg for about a month, and was surprised that her handmade Christmas cards sold out. She sold out her entire stock of handmade Christmas cards at the Ukrainian newcomer holiday market.
