Commons and Senate, the Parliamentary Library, the War Museum, the
National Museum of Canadian Civilization, Parliamentary Precinct, the
Supreme Court, and National Archives and Library Canada. Visits to

Ukrainian churches, Buduchnist Credit Union, and the Taras Shevchenko
monument will also be included.
Students between the ages of 14 to 22, of Ukrainian descent or simply with
an interest in Ukrainian identity and multiculturalism must apply before
November 1, 2013. This educational forum is limited to 12 candidates who
meet the selection criteria.
