SANDY, Utah – Sandy City has officially formed a new sister city partnership with Bucha, Ukraine, strengthening international ties and fostering collaboration between the two communities.
Mayor Monica Zoltanski, alongside city council members, residents, and representatives from the Utah Ukrainian Association, gathered on Monday to celebrate the agreement. The partnership was unanimously approved by the Sandy City Council in November 2024, with Bucha Mayor Anatoliy Fedoruk signing the agreement the following month.
A Growing Global Connection
This new partnership opens the door for cultural and student exchanges, economic initiatives, tourism promotion, and humanitarian efforts between the two cities. Officials say the agreement will encourage mutual understanding and create opportunities for residents to engage in meaningful cross-cultural experiences.
Bucha now joins Piedras Negras, Mexico, and Riesa, Germany, as one of Sandy’s official sister cities. City leaders hope this latest collaboration will strengthen international goodwill and cooperation in the years to come .
Keelee McCain is a junior at Weber High School. This is her second year on staff, this year as Assistant to the Chief. She does have a life (probably) but she can't think of anything to write in here, so she's probably just going to ramble now. She has an orange cat who she likes better than any human. If you see her being quiet or not sitting on top of a desk, there is something very wrong. In her free time she enjoys harassing her favorite teachers and sleeping. Her life plans include making it through high school and leaving. Happy lifeing.
