Our History

The Association of United Ukrainian Canadians has evolved through a number of organizational stages due to conditions and climate of the time. It came on the scene as the Ukrainian Labour Temple Association (1918 - 1924), followed by the Ukrainian Labour-Farmer Temple Association (1925 - 1946), the Ukrainian Association to Aid the Fatherland (1941 - 1946); and finally, the Association of United Ukrainian Canadians (1946).

Lily Stearns, AUUC's national archivist receives the Lieutenant Governor’s Historical Preservation and Promotion award

We are pleased to announce that Lily Stearns, AUUC's national archivist and a member of the AUUC Winnipeg Branch, is one of five recipients of the Lieutenant Governor’s Historical Preservation and Promotion award for meritorious service in the preservation and promotion of the province’s history and heritage. An official ceremony is being held at Government House later today (May 14, 2024), and an official press release about the award is below.

Lily was nominated for the award by the Executive Council of AUUC Winnipeg Branch, with support and/or letters of recommendation from Emily Halldorson, Walter Mirosh, Glenn Michalchuk, Rhonda Hinther, Nolan Reilly and Jim Mocharuk.

The presentation of this award to Lily, is important not only for the recognition of Lily's work, but for what it symbolizes for the AUUC. All too often, the history of the Ukrainian Canadian left is left out of mainstream narratives and history books. This award recognizes that the history of the Ukrainian Canadian left, and the history of the AUUC is an important part of the history of our province and country.

Congratulations Lily and AUUC Winnipeg members on this significant achievement!

EMILY CLAIRE KOZUB HALLDORSON

Vice President AUUC Winnipeg Branch


A Pillar of the Ukrainian-Canadian Community Dies at 93

He will be remembered as someone deeply embedded in the service to others and resistance to oppression. While he engaged his Ukrainian- Canadian community in many ways, it was his love of music and song that conveyed his passion so poignantly.

The Herald is Back!

The title of the lead article of the February 2020 issue of the Ukrainian Canadian Herald (UCH) is: “Our Last Issue”. In writing the lead, its long-time editor, Wilfred Szczesny, realized that his failing health would not permit him to carry the heavy work load associated with producing the newspaper. While the print edition would be no more, he knew others would carry on with the mandate the Association of United Ukrainian Canadians (AUUC) had given – bring the UCH online as part of the new website the AUUC was developing.
