Ukrainian Canadian Congress Alberta Provincial Council (UCCAPC) is hosting an online event from June 1st to the 20th in an effort to commemorate the centenary of the end of WWI Internment Operations in Canada. The event takes place virtually on all social media platforms: Facebook, Twitter @UCC_APC, Instagram, and UCC-APCwebsite https://uccab.ca/.
The social media handle for this event is #Internment100.
100 years ago Ukrainian immigrants, along with other Eastern European immigrants such as Poles, Germans, Croats, Serbs, Hungarians, and others, were confined to forced labour and internment camps across Canada based only on their countries of origin. June 20, 2020, will mark the 100th anniversary of the end of the WWI national internment operations that took place in Canada from 1914 to 1920. During the 20-day period, UCC-APC will be sharing online daily segments to honour the internees and help inform our wider community of this little-known event in Canadian history. This is a joint effort of the Ukrainian community in Canada and we ask you to support this initiative by sharing our daily posts. UCC-APC will also publish daily e-newsletters during this time – please sign up by going to the uccab.ca website.
