Last week, local Edmonton business owners gathered to watch their big moment on national television — and what a night it was. The team behind DON’YA Ukraine’s Kitchen, the beloved Ukrainian food business built right here in Edmonton, hosted a viewing party for their appearance on Dragon’s Den, CBC’s hit entrepreneurship show where founders pitch investors for funding and partnerships.
For the hosts and guests alike, the event was more than just a TV watch-along — it was a celebration of community, resilience, and pride. Many described it as “life-changing,” a chance to reflect on how far the business has come and how deeply it resonates with people across the city and beyond.
The night brought together friends, family, loyal customers and fellow entrepreneurs to cheer on DON’YA as they shared their story on the national stage. It was a reminder of the strength of small business in Edmonton and how platforms like Dragon’s Den can amplify local voices.
