The Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC) is
the official voice of over one million Canadians of Ukrainian descent, of
whom over 200,000 reside in British Columbia.
UCC-BC was officially founded in 1990 at the province-wide conference Building
the Future: Ukrainians in BC.
Since its
inception, UCC-BC launched a community
newsletter Contact
in the fall of 1991, and has co-ordinated events such as the Ukrainian Centennial Days
celebrations at the world-famous Plaza of Nations in Vancouver (summer
1991), the Ukrainian Showcase
Pavilion at the 1992 Pacific National Exhibition, and Ukrainian Showcase 2000 at the Plaza
of Nations in August 2000.
Today UCC-BC continues to encourage and support community
endeavors and initiatives central to BC's Ukrainian community.
