Bohdan Tymyc

Bohdan is a role model for those who think about Ukrainian business in the diaspora. His company Yevshan is the biggest Ukrainian cultural goods store in Northern America, and probably in the whole world. The company has the strength and Bohdan personally has the business talent to hold this top position for five decades already – since 1972 when Yevshan Communications Inc has been established. Bohdan is one of the founders and organizers of the Ukrainian Festival in Montreal. Every year, before the pandemic, Bohdan is enjoying the summer travelling all around Canada and the US participating in more than a dozen of Ukrainian festivals. This is where I meet Bohdan after I moved from Montreal to the West. I have had the privilege to know Bohdan for 20 years already and I feel that I have never met a more energetic and charismatic Ukrainian businessman in Canada.
