Ukrainian Canadian Congress
About Ukrainian Canadian Congress
For over 80 years, the Ukrainian Canadian Congress has been the heartbeat of Ukraine's diaspora in Canada, uniting a vibrant community of 1.4 million people who call this nation home. Headquartered in Winnipeg, MB, the UCC has grown from its 1940 founding into a trusted institution that celebrates Ukrainian heritage while advocating for community needs and supporting Ukraine during critical moments. The organization is built on deep community roots, bringing together grassroots organizations, volunteers, and donors who share a commitment to preserving Ukrainian Canadian culture and identity for future generations. The UCC's work extends beyond borders—while strengthening Ukrainian Canadian communities across the country, the organization also maintains vital connections with Ukraine, providing unwavering support to the Ukrainian people during times of challenge and change. Guided by a vision of being proactive and united, the UCC empowers its community through cultural celebration, civic participation, and meaningful advocacy. The organization recognizes the profound contributions Ukrainian Canadians have made to building a diverse, inclusive, and welcoming Canada, particularly celebrated during the 125th anniversary of Ukrainian settlement and the 75th anniversary of the UCC itself. Led by dedicated volunteers, board members, and staff who work tirelessly to serve the community, the UCC remains committed to fostering a conscientious community that cares for others while honoring its heritage and supporting Ukraine with determination and resolve.
