November 2014 is the 81st commemoration of the Holodomor. For the first time in five years, the Ukrainian population will be commemorating the Holodomor, the Genocidal Famine, alongside its government.

A statement was also made in the Ontario Legislature by Yvan Baker of Etobicoke Centre on November 18th 2014, proclaiming the Holodomor Memorial Day, as a day to commemorate the millions of victims who were starved to death during the Genocidal Famine in 1932-33. The Legislative Assembly rose to a standing ovation over the proclamation in the presence of special invited guests of the Ukrainian community.
