About Association of United Ukrainian Canadians Vancouver

For generations, the Association of United Ukrainian Canadians (AUUC) has been woven into the fabric of Vancouver, BC, serving as a vital cultural bridge for community members seeking connection and belonging. Founded by Ukrainian immigrants over 100 years ago, AUUC Vancouver celebrated its 85th anniversary while continuing its mission to celebrate, share, and preserve Ukrainian cultural heritage through music, song, dance, food, handicrafts, and art. The organization reflects the diversity of Vancouver's population, welcoming members spanning from new Canadians to fourth and fifth-generation families, regardless of ethnic background. Beyond cultural preservation, AUUC Vancouver is grounded in progressive values including peace, equality, and social justice, actively supporting marginalized communities, workers, refugees, and humanitarian efforts. The cultural center serves as a gathering place where people from across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland come together to sing, play, dance, cook, and learn. Rooted in the belief that understanding our ancestors' journey illuminates our present and future, AUUC Vancouver maintains strong connections with the national organization, enriching local programming through nationwide collaboration. This community-centered approach ensures that Ukrainian cultural traditions thrive while fostering understanding and acceptance across all cultures within Canada's diverse society.
