The mandate of the
Ukrainian Canadian Congress
– Toronto Branch is to:
COORDINATE
AND
REPRESENT
THE
UKRAINIAN
CANADIAN
COMMUNITY
IN
TORONTO.
We
believe
this
website
helps
us
deliver
against
this
goal
by
providing
you
with
a
window
on
our
organization
and
the
community
we
serve.
We
continue
to
build
our
future
on
the
basis
of
a
very
solid
foundation
developed
and
implemented
by
generations
of
Ukrainian
Canadians
before
us.
The
Congress has been serving the community for more than half a century
and we continue to do so in an effective and inclusive manner. We
fulfill our mandate by coordinating and leading key community
celebrations, such as Ukraine’s Independence Day (in August),
Remembrance Day (in November), Ukraine's Reunification Day (in
January), and all major community and historic milestones that have a
significant impact on our community.
We
foster
a
community
environment
based
on
equality,
justice,
tolerance,
inclusiveness,
and
respect
by
working
with
member
organizations
and
community
members
to
enable
them
to
establish their respective roles
within the community. We also help foster the ”special
relationship” that Canada shares with Ukraine and ensure that new
Canadians are welcomed into the community.
In
addition,
we
work
closely
with
the
National
Executive
of
the
UCC
in
effectively
representing
the
Community
before
the
government
and
media
on
a
variety
of topics of concern, for example Immigration, Justice, and
Multiculturalism.
The
Congress
can
be
characterized
as
having
an
effective,
team-based,
and
professional
management
team,
led
by
a
broad
spectrum
of
young
leaders
and
core
group
of seasoned veterans dedicated to the further growth and
prosperity of their community.
We'd like
to
take this opportunity to thank the many Board Members, volunteers, and
supporters who contribute so much of their time and effort in executing
a truly ambitious program on behalf of the entire community. We
are proud to be part of such a dedicated team and, as always, we look
to your continued support.
