Bio:
Dmytro Garbovskyi

Dmytro is an accomplished singer, specializing in opera, from Ukraine and a participant in Georgian’s Job Finding Club for Immigrants. He received the Immigrant Artist award for his dedication to supporting and uplifting the immigrant community in Simcoe County. In the midst of the conflict in Ukraine, Dmytro relocated to Canada. Although that meant leaving behind his artistic career, he excelled through the challenges and started work in construction to support his family.

Highlights:

  • Organized several fundraising events to help those affected by the conflict in Ukraine. He helped raise $1,200 CAD per day to provide laptops for children facing challenges in accessing remote education.

  • Founded the Facebook group, “Ukrainian Men in Barrie” to help foster connections and provide support for Ukrainian men navigating immigration. This platform is a valuable resource hub, and a space to connect and share experiences throughout the immigration journey.

  • Volunteered his singing talents at cultural events including Holodomor Memorial Day and Independence Day of Ukraine.
