Symphony Under the Skys is moving to Snow Valley this year. With the steep hillside that could be a great little venue. Sound may be pretty good as well.

A neat venue, but poor access.

Curious as to why QE hillside would not have been used or even the Leg east garden.

Possibly the needed infrastructure, like power and the like. The Chalet is probably going to be the green room. Cant see the Leg east being used.

I don't get it, by this logic there's a ton of other countries that should be omitted too. If Israeli and Palestinian Canadians can come up with a solution at heritage why cant russians and ukrainians. oh well.

My guess is that there was intense lobby by the huge Ukrainian community in Edmonton, for this to happen
