September 20, 2021. OTTAWA, ON. The Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC) encourages all Canadians to vote in the 2021 Federal Election today.
“As Canadians, we should be proud of our democracy and grateful for the right to freely choose our political leaders. By exercising our democratic right to vote we honour the Canadians whose sacrifice and commitment to duty ensured that we may live in freedom,” stated Alexandra Chyczij, National President of the UCC. “The UCC encourages all members of our Ukrainian Canadian community, and all Canadians, to make their voice heard in today’s federal election.”
