## Daria Lesia Twerdochlib

Дарія Леся Твердохліб

Daria Lesia Twerdochlib is a lifelong volunteer, educator, and community leader whose contributions have strengthened the Ukrainian-Canadian community for more than 40 years. Her service spans religious and cultural organizations, youth programs, and charitable fundraising, reflecting a deep commitment to preserving heritage and helping those in need. As Fundraising Coordinator for the UCWLC St. Mary's Branch, Daria has organized four consecutive 5 km "Solidarity with Ukraine" Walkathons (2022–2026), raising essential funds for humanitarian relief and local charities. Her ability to mobilize volunteers has made these events a major source of community support during a time of crisis. She has held leadership roles in the Ukrainian Catholic Women's League of Canada, Ukrainian Youth Association (CYM), Barvinok Ukrainian Dance School, and St. Mary's Church. As President of Barvinok (1999–2005), she expanded programming and coordinated the 2004 Tour of Ukraine for 40 young dancers. A dedicated educator for over 35 years, Daria has shaped generations of students through special education, mentoring new teachers, and leadership within OECTA — where she received the Staff Representative and Communication Awards. Known for her positivity, compassion, and collaborative spirit, she remains a pillar of the community and a deserving nominee for the Trillium Award.
