About Ukrainian National Federation of Canada Ottawa - Gatineau

The Ukrainian National Federation of Canada Ottawa-Gatineau chapter serves as a dedicated organization committed to advancing the interests and representation of Ukrainian Canadians throughout the region. Operating as part of a national network established across Canada, this chapter works to unite Ukrainian Canadians regardless of their political, religious, or other beliefs, fostering strong community bonds and collective action. The organization focuses on several key service areas that benefit the Ukrainian Canadian population in Ottawa, ON and surrounding communities. These include promoting good Canadian citizenship among Ukrainian Canadians, strengthening the community's position within broader Canadian society, and serving as an advocate for common interests while protecting the reputation of the Ukrainian Canadian community. The Federation also plays an important educational role, working to inform fellow Canadians about Ukrainian history, culture, and heritage, while promoting accurate information about Ukraine on the national stage. With over 1.5 million Ukrainian Canadians contributing significantly to Canada's growth and development over the past century, this organization recognizes the valuable contributions of Ukrainian Canadians and their descendants. The Federation provides a structured platform through which the community can express its collective voice, preserve its rich cultural heritage, and ensure that Ukrainian Canadian perspectives are represented in important discussions affecting the nation. Based in Ottawa, ON, the Federation continues to support constructively the independence of Ukraine while maintaining its commitment to strengthening Ukrainian Canadian identity within Canada.
