Ukraine declared its independence from the Soviet Union on August 24, 1991, marking a powerful step toward democracy, freedom, and national identity. Every year, Ukrainians around the world celebrate this historic milestone with pride and unity.
Canada is home to over 1.4 million people of Ukrainian descent, one of the largest Ukrainian diasporas globally. From early pioneers to modern immigrants, Ukrainian Canadians have made lasting contributions to Canada’s cultural, political, and social fabric, preserving traditions while standing strong in support of Ukraine’s sovereignty.
