UCC Discusses CMHR with Minister Moore

On February 15, 2011, the Ukrainian Canadian Congress National President, Paul Grod, and UCC Executive Director Taras Zalusky met with the Hon. James Moore, Minister of Canadian Heritage.

“We had a candid and frank discussion with Minister Moore regarding our community’s difficulty with the Canadian Museum For Human Rights.  Specifically, we expressed concern over the governance, content and layout of the museum.  Despite assurances that the content has not been finalized, the museum is proceeding with procurement based on the discredited report of the Content Advisory Committee where the Holodomor and Canada’s First National Internment Operations are not displayed permanently and prominently in their own zone,” stated Paul Grod.
