Passing the Torch: Holodomor Remembrace flame debuts in Toronto

This past Friday, April 18 2008 the International Remembrance Flame arrived in Toronto to commemorate the events marking the 75th anniversary of the Holodomor. It arrived in city hall to kick off the opening of the exhibit Holodomor: Genocide by Famine presented by League of Ukrainian Canadians & The League of Ukrainian Canadian Women.

Here are our pictures from the event, we will try to have more details up soon:

UPDATE: More pictures and a report are available here (middle of page).

I attended this important international event with my family. I noticed that there was no mainstream media – CBC, City, Global, CTV etc. There was no mention of the event in the newspapers the next day. I am wondering how much effort was placed to encourage media attention?

I’m not sure. I know there were at least two cameras there – one filming for the Kontakt TV program on Omni1 channel and the other for the upcoming holodmor documentary (http://www.holodomorthemovie.com).
