About the day

A week after Carleton Place, the Rushnyk of Unity — Rushnyk of Victory travelled to Toronto. The team brought it to the parade of the Bloor West Village Toronto Ukrainian Festival, held 18–20 September 2026, and the hands that carried it were adults, teens, and children walking with a parent or guardian.

From Toronto the cloth went on to Mississauga for the week of 21–27 September. The route page shows where it goes after that.
