During this time, they celebrated the 40th anniversary of the world's largest Pysanka, a Ukrainian Easter Egg, and officially dedicated Mazankowski Way, a former Deputy Prime Minister of Canada. The celebration also included Ukrainian dancing, food trucks, folk performances, and a dunk tank to raise money to rehabilitate the Pysanka, which has lasted twice its life span.
