What Is The XXVI Triennial Congress?
The Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC) represents the Ukrainian Canadian community before the people and Government of Canada, promotes linkages with Ukraine and identifies and addresses the needs of the Ukrainian community in Canada to ensure its continued existence and development for the enhancement of Canada’s socio-cultural fabric.
The Triennial Congress of Ukrainian Canadians is the policy forum where the leadership of the Ukrainian Canadian community is elected for the next three years and where the priorities for the community are discussed and decided.
