The Canadian Foundation for Ukrainian Studies was created in 1975 on the initiative
of associates of the Ukrainian Canadian Professional and Business Federation.
The Canadian Foundation for Ukrainian Studies is
chartered under Canadian law as a non-profit organization. Its activities
are motivated by a conviction that university-level Ukrainian Studies are
essential for the healthy development of the Ukrainian community in Canada.
The complete and objective information needed by the community to understand
and appreciate its own roots can only be developed through rigorous and fundamental
work on the university level. Knowledge of Ukraine's historical and cultural
development is also vital to the development of sound relations with Ukraine
in the post-Soviet era.
