Hosts Needed!

The Ukrainian community is an integral part of Canada’s multicultural society. Through the last 125 years our community has experienced different periods of growth. When our immigrant forefathers fought to make a living they did not forget their language, songs, culture and church. With this rich heritage we are now in the 21st Century.&nbsp; Numerous secular and church-led organizations have met the needs of our community. With time there arose a necessity to take care of social needs in our community. &nbsp;The combination of integral societal issues and general changes in Canada created the urgent need for the establishment of an organization whose goals would be to deliver services.&nbsp; Ukrainian Canadian Social Services has its roots in the Ukrainian Canadian Relief Fund, which was founded in 1945 by the Ukrainian Canadian Committee (now the Ukrainian Canadian Congress). The Relief Fund was established to help post-war refugees. In 1950 the Relief Fund was reorganized and a new organization was formed – Ukrainian Canadian Social Services. The headquarters was initially located in Winnipeg, then moved to Thunder Bay, and from 1970, to Toronto. Over time branches of UCSS were formed in other parts of Canada.

Federally registered Canadian Not-For Profit organizationASSISTING AND SUPPORTING UKRAINIANS DISPLACED BY WAR. Our first goal was to help one family flee the warzone in Ukraine. This family was our very own. After calling to the community for help, we were overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support. We rolled that support into an initiative that is working to bring as many fleeing Ukrainians to our beautiful country as possible. From answering questions about life in Canada to finding them a family doctor while they are here, we are working to make their application, travel, arrival AND stay as smooth, loving and safe as possible. This organization is based in Ontario, with local connections supporting in the Edmonton Area.&nbsp;
