History of the European Football Championship
The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) has organized a European Football Championship every 4 years since 1960. UEFA adopted the Euro naming scheme for the 1996 tournament, which was held in England. By being a host nation for this year's edition of the tournament, Ukraine is automatically qualified. This will be its first ever appearance in a European Football Championship. Sudden success isn't out of the ordinary for the Ukrainian squad. They reached the quarter finals in their first ever trip to the World Cup in 2006 by defeating Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and Switzerland. They were eliminated by the eventual world champions - Italy.
| |
Euro 2012 will be the first European Championship for Ukraine and its captain - Andriy Shevchenko. He is one of the most prolific Ukrainian football stars, with 67 goals scored in European club competition.
|
|
Euro 2012 Selection Process
| Bidding Process
In the selection committee, there were initially 5 bids to host Euro 2012 - Italy, Croatia-Hungary, Poland-Ukraine, Turkey and Greece. In 2005, the list of candidates were narrowed down to three. A final round of voting chose Ukraine and Poland as the event hosts. This is the third successful joint bid to host Euro 2012, as it was hosted previously by Netherlands-Belgium and Austria-Switzerland. Final Round of Voting - Poland-Ukraine -- 8 votes
- Italy -- 4 votes
- Croatia-Hungary -- 0 votes
Slavek and Slavko are the official mascots of Euro 2012. |

Premier Redford welcomes Gene Zwozdesky as Speaker of the Legislative Assembly
|  Premier Alison Redford issued the following statement today on Gene Zwozdesky's election as Speaker.
"It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I congratulate Gene Zwozdesky on his election as Alberta's 12th Speaker of the Legislative Assembly. The role of Speaker is deeply rooted in tradition and is a reflection of the proud and storied past of Alberta assemblies that have come before us. In presiding over the daily business of the House, the Speaker is the impartial authority that guides the tone and demeanor of all members, regardless of party affiliation. The Speaker also has the enjoyable task of receiving official guests of the province. There can be no doubt that Gene's natural exuberance and love for Alberta will serve him well in this aspect of his duties. I have the utmost confidence that Gene will perform his responsibilities as Speaker with the grace, dignity and tenacity that he has demonstrated throughout his many years of community involvement and public service." |

| Major Gift from Golemba Fund Supports Students at Lviv University |  Article Subheading
29 May 2012-The Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies has recently received a very generous gift from a bequest of $450,000 from the estate of Natalia Golemba of Toronto, Ontario. The establishment of
the Bohdan and Natalia Golemba Endowment Fund in May 2012 allowed CIUS to create the Bohdan and Natalia Golemba scholarship at the University of Alberta for students in their third to fifth years of study and for graduate students at the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv who are enrolled in law or humanities programs. The new fund will enrich the Student Exchange Program, which has been in existence at CIUS since 2006, and will also benefit Lviv students who wish to study or conduct research at the University of Alberta. All applicants for the scholarship must demonstrate a high level of proficiency in English, French, or German and maintain a high academic standard.
 Bohdan Yaroslaw Golemba was born on 20 August 1908 in Kolomyia.
Natalia (née Shpikula) was born in Kopychyntsi near Ternopil on 12
January 1913. They met at a cooperative in Kopychyntsi where they were working. The Golembas married before fleeing to Poland during the war. From 1939 the young couple lived in Gdańsk, Poland, until they came to Canada in 1959 to join the rest of Natalia's brothers and sisters (she came from a family of nine children).
Having settled in Toronto, Bohdan worked as an accountant and real
estate agent, while Natalia worked as a cashier at an IGA store.
Bohdan loved to collect stamps and developed an impressive collection.
Natalia embroidered beautifully and made artificial flowers and
wreaths. "Most of the time," recalled Natalia's niece Nadine Shpikula,
"they recounted stories of fleeing during the war and of how
Ukrainians were discriminated against by Poles, Germans, and
Russians."
Traumatized by their wartime experience, the Golembas were devoted to Ukraine and sought to assist their ancestral homeland by promoting
education. Toward the end of her life, Natalia sponsored students from
her native Kopychyntsi. Their posthumous gift will always remind us of their sacrifice, generosity, and efforts to make a difference in the
lives of young people. Bohdan passed away on 26 February 1997, and
Natalia on 8 October 2005.

| Щедрий дар із фонду Ґолемби підтримає студентів Львівського університету | 29 травня 2012 - Канадський інститут українських студій нещодавно
отримав щедрий дар 450,000 дол. із заповіту з маєтку Наталії Ґолемби зТоронта, Онтаріо. Створення Вічного фонду ім. Богдана і Наталії
Ґолемби у травні 2012 р. дозволило КІУСу заснувати стипендію ім. Богдана і Наталії Ґолемби Альбертського університету для студентів 3 - 5 курсів та аспірантів Львівського національного університету ім. Івана Франка, які навчаються на юридичному та гуманітарних факультетах. Новий фонд оживить Програму студентського обміну, що діє в КІУСі з 2006 р., та принесе вигоди львівським студентам, які планують навчатися або проводити дослідження в Альбертському університеті. Усі претенденти на отримання стипендії повинні володіти англійською, французькою чи німецькою мовами та підтвердити високі результати у навчанні та науковій роботі.
Богдан Ярослав Ґолемба народився 20 серпня 1908 р. у Коломиї. Наталія (з роду Шпікула) народилася в с. Копичинці біля Тернополя 12 січня
1913 р. Вони працювали в кооперативі в Копичинцях, де й познайомилися. Одружилися перед тим, як утекти до Польщ під час війни. З 1939 р. молода пара мешкала у Ґданську, Польща, а в 1959 р. перебралася до Канади, де вже мешкали брати й сестри Наталії (разом їх у родині було дев'ятеро).
Оселившись у Торонті, Богдан працював бухгалтером і аґентом із продажу нерухомого майна, а Наталія касиром у крамниці IGA. Богдан
захоплювався поштовими марками і зібрав унікальну колекцію. Наталія
чудово вишивала та робила штучні квіти й вінки. «Більшість часу, -
пригадує племінниця Наталії Надя Шпікула, - вони розповідали історії
своєї втечі під час війни та як українці були переслідувані поляками,
німцями й росіянами».
Пройшовши крізь минулі лихоліття, Ґолемби були свідомі свого
походження та одержимі місією допомогти своїй батьківщині в ділянці
освіти. Наталія підтримувала студентів з її рідних Копичинців до кінця
свого життя. Їхній посмертний дар завжди нагадуватиме про їхню
жертовність, щедрість та бажання допомогти в житті багатьом молодим
людям. Богдан відійшов у вічність 26 лютого 1997 р., а Наталія 8
жовтня 2005 р.
