The Association of United Ukrainian Canadians (AUUC; Ukrainian: Товариство Об'єднаних Українських Канадців) is a national cultural-educational non-profit organization established for Ukrainians in Canada. With branches throughout Canada it sponsors such cultural activities as dance groups, orchestras, choirs and children's activities, and is involved in social justice and solidarity activities in partnership with other ethnocultural organizations, peace groups, and community organizations.

History

Establishment

Seventh convention of the Ukrainian Labour Farmer Temple Association

The Ukrainian Labour Farmer Temple Association (ULFTA) was established in Winnipeg in 1918 as an association of cultural societies and community halls and the Ukrainian Social Democratic Party of Canada (USDPC). By 1928 it had 167 branches across Canada. Labour Temples and other associated halls existed in cities like Winnipeg, Edmonton, and Toronto (1921),[1] as well as in rural communities in the Ukrainian Block Settlements.

As no form of public medicare was available at the time, ULFTA founded the Workers Benevolent Association (WBA) in Winnipeg in 1922, with branches and membership rapidly spreading throughout Canada; it even extended its membership to all workers, irrespective of ethnic origin.

Labour Temples were involved in organizing actions such as the Winnipeg General Strike, support for the 1931 Bienfait miners’ strike and the On-to-Ottawa Trek in 1935.[2]

In 1940, the ULFTA was banned under the wartime Defence of Canada Regulations, along with the Communist Party of Canada and affiliate organizations, due to its support for the Soviet Union.[3] A few of its leaders and journalists were interned. Labour Temples were confiscated by the federal government as "enemy property" with several being sold off.[2][4]

War and post-war

After the June 1941 invasion of the Soviet Union, former members of the ULFTA formed the Ukrainian Society for Aid to the Motherland (USAM) and the Association of Canadian Ukrainians (ACU). In 1943, the federal government lifted its ban on the ULFTA and its remaining properties were returned.[3]

In 1946, the ULFTA, ACU, and USAM and other activists merged to form the Association of United Ukrainian Canadians (AUUC) as the continuation of the ULFTA.[5][3]

Few post-World War II immigrants joined the AUUC[citation needed] as most were opposed to the Soviet Union and Communism.

However, the AUUC has a legacy of senior's homes, children's camps, monuments and museums to Ukrainian literary giants, most notably the monument to the Ukrainian poet Lesya Ukrainka, a gift from Soviet Ukraine, on the grounds of the University of Saskatchewan in 1976. In addition, the AUUC still runs programs such as Edmonton's Trembita dance ensemble.
