For more than 70 years, the League of Ukrainian Canadians (LUC), formerly Canadian League for the Liberation of Ukraine, has helped to foster and promote Canadian values and to share our Ukrainian cultural heritage with our fellow Canadians. LUC also has worked to raise awareness about the Ukrainian nation’s centuries-long struggle for freedom and, since 1991, to marshal support for Ukraine’s effo
rts to consolidate its hard won independence into a secure, democratic, and prosperous state. The collective mission is to preserve and promote the Ukrainian and Ukrainian Canadian heritage, facilitate the integration of new immigrants into Canada, and safeguard and further develop the multicultural identity, civic institutions, and democratic values at the core of Canadian society. Another focus of the mission is to share the Ukrainian Canadian historical experience and our Canadian values with the people and Government of Ukraine. As we look to the future, our essential mission remains unchanged. We will be vigilant in safeguarding core Canadian values that sustain the freedoms and well-being of our fellow citizens. We will continue to promote the development of the Ukrainian Canadian identity in accordance with multiculturalism. We will continue to assist new immigrants in fulfilling their hopes and dreams of a new life by integrating them into the Ukrainian Canadian community and Canadian society. We will stand with the Ukrainian people in fighting policies and measures that undermine their freedom and independence. We will oppose the Russian government’s efforts to reimpose its colonial control over Ukraine. In this, the goal is to bring the social and political values to Ukraine that make Canada the envy of the world: democracy, human rights, rule of law, civil society, tolerance, and respect for the sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity of all countries.
