Since 1944, Vancouver in Canada and Odessa have been actively developing strong ties, collaborating in various fields for the benefit of their residents. 

For instance, students from Odessa Lyceum No. 2 have initiated a pen-pal program with peers from Queen Elizabeth School in Vancouver, aiming to strengthen friendships between the children of both cities. 

At the end of May, Vancouver will host Odessa Week, featuring photo exhibitions, cultural events, a performance by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, film screenings, and culinary activities.

In honor of Odessa Week, students from Odessa Lyceum No. 2 have prepared a video message for their Canadian counterparts. 

Additionally, the students wrote letters to their peers and created posters about Canada and Odessa.
