Ukrainian Canadian Congress – Calgary
About Ukrainian Canadian Congress – Calgary
Founded in November 1940 as the Ukrainian Canadian Committee, the Ukrainian Canadian Congress – Calgary has evolved into a cornerstone institution serving the Ukrainian community in Calgary, AB for over eight decades. Originally established under federal government initiative to unite the Ukrainian population during the Second World War and postwar period, the organization played a pivotal historical role in advocating for the resettlement of 200,000 Ukrainian refugees stranded in Western Europe following the war. Today, the UCC Calgary represents a thriving, multigenerational community rooted in cultural pride and shared heritage. The organization embraces its mission as a politically and religiously neutral body dedicated to preserving Ukrainian language and traditions while supporting community members through life transitions and cultural assimilation. The UCC Calgary operates with deep respect for the traditional territories it serves, acknowledging the Blackfoot Confederacy, Tsuutina, Iyarhe Nakoda Nations, and Métis communities within Treaty 7. Whether through cultural celebrations like Ukrainian Day in the Park, community programming, or direct support for Ukrainian newcomers fleeing conflict, the organization demonstrates its commitment to building a united, self-sustaining community. The UCC Calgary invites community members and supporters to engage with the hundreds of individuals working collaboratively to strengthen Ukrainian Canadian identity and presence in the region.
