About Association of United Ukrainian Canadians Edmonton
Serving the Edmonton, AB community for nearly a century, the Association of United Ukrainian Canadians Edmonton represents a living legacy of Ukrainian-Canadian heritage and progressive community values. What began as a grassroots organization of immigrant laborers in the early 1900s has evolved into a vibrant cultural institution with a broad popular base and deep democratic roots. The Edmonton branch embodies the dreams and aspirations of countless Ukrainian pioneers who came to Canada as nation-builders, transforming both the land and their own lives in the process. For generations, AUUC Edmonton has provided a welcoming home away from home through its network of cultural spaces, where community members gather to learn, grow, and celebrate their precious cultural birthright. The organization maintains strong, living connections to Ukrainian ancestral traditions while actively promoting cultural exchange and tourism as means of building lasting friendships and peace between peoples. With its Ukrainian Cultural Centre and Trembita Arts School, AUUC Edmonton continues the organization's historic commitment to nurturing creative cultural expression and preserving heritage for new generations. The organization's mission centers on providing comprehensive support for Ukrainian culture in all its forms. Rooted in principles of progress, community service, and cultural stewardship, AUUC Edmonton remains dedicated to its founding promise: advancing the interests of its people while strengthening cultural ties that bind the Edmonton Ukrainian-Canadian community together.
