Founded in 1940, it serves as a voice for over 1.3 million Canadians of Ukrainian descent, promoting cultural heritage, community development, and advocacy on issues affecting Ukrainians in Canada and abroad. The UCC works closely with various levels of government and other organizations to address concerns such as immigration, human rights, and support for Ukraine. It also organizes events and initiatives that celebrate Ukrainian culture, including festivals, educational programs, and commemorations of significant historical events related to Ukraine.
