This includes providing substantial funding to Ukrainian organizations, establishing resource websites for newcomers, hosting welcome events and English classes, coordinating emergency housing and mental health services, and organizing furniture donation warehouses. The organization also recognizes outstanding volunteer achievements through the prestigious Hetman Awards, established in 1998 to honor Ukrainian Albertans who dedicate their time and expertise to keeping the community vibrant and active. Through consistent advocacy, cultural programming, and direct community support, the Ukrainian Canadian Congress - Alberta Provincial Council continues to strengthen the social and cultural fabric of Alberta's Ukrainian community.
