Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the role played by the Ukrainian-Canadian Community in the adoption of Canada’s first multiculturalism policy in 1971. The first section of the paper looks at the political development of the Ukrainian-Canadian Community prior to the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism. The second looks at the impact that the community had on the Commission and the Report that it produced. The final section examines how the Commission’s findings interacted with the broader political context at the time to lead to the adoption of multiculturalism. The paper argues that the Ukrainian-Canadian Community had a substantial amount of influence over the Royal Commission and that this influence, combined with political factors at the time, was important to the adoption of multiculturalism in Canada.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis studies the recent efforts of the Ukrainian community in Canada to raise awareness of the Holodomor, Ukrainian Famine-Genocide of 1932-33. The theoretical framework is built on Jan Assmann's concept of cultural memory (1995), the concept of human rights and social justice elaborated by John Finnis (1980) and John Rawls (1999), the post-modern interpretation of Diaspora by Stuart Hall (1990) and James Clifford (1994), and the positive reading of nationalism by Anthony Smith (1995) and Benedict Anderson (1991). The thesis investigates how the Ukrainian Diaspora in Canada raises awareness of the Holodomor and explores the motivations behind these efforts. This explanatory case study utilizes two qualitative data collection methods: a content analysis of the Canadian legislation and school curricula on the Holodomor as well as in-depth interviews with Ukrainian Canadian professionals involved in the Holodomor awareness campaign. Findings reveal that Ukrainian Canadians concentrate their efforts on political recognition of the Holodomor, on the introduction of it as a compulsory subject in school curricula and on the recording of eye witnesses of the Holodomor. Ukrainian Canadians are driven by the sense of being part of the Ukrainian nation, the need to tell the historical truth and the belief in Canada's commitment to respect and protect human rights. By preserving and sharing the memory of the Holodomor with Canadian society, the Ukrainian Canadian Diaspora re-actualizes its distinctive collective identity, contributes to the reconstruction of the Ukrainian historical memory, supports Ukraine on its way to democracy, consolidates democratic values of Canadian society and contributes to Canada's role as defender of human rights.

Full textAbstract:
Canadian multiculturalism policy is often said to have come about in 1971 because of factors such as the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism, the multicultural movement of the 1960s, or the more liberal political and social climate of the postwar period. While all of these played roles in the emergence of “multiculturalism within a bilingual framework,” this dissertation takes the approach that the federal civil service was the most important factor behind the adoption of a federal multiculturalism policy in Canada. The author makes the case that the Canadian state had adopted multiculturalism policy and programs as early as the 1950s. A small branch of Government, known as the Canadian Citizenship Branch sought to integrate members of ethnic minority communities into the mainstream of Canadian life, but also sought to reassure native-born Canadians that these “New Canadians” had vital contributions to make to Canadian culture. This dissertation shows how this state discourse intersected with the more familiar elements associated with the rise of multiculturalism, such as the multicultural movement, and ultimately coalesced in 1971 with the announcement by Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau of a “new” state multiculturalism policy.Graduate

Full textAbstract:
This thesis follows the development of the Ukrainian identity in Toronto since World War II. It explores the formation of collective memory by the Third Wave of Ukrainian immigration who arrived in Toronto in the early 1950s and the crystallization of a particular Ukrainian identity within this community. In particular, it looks at the role of the Ukrainian schooling system as an important institution shaping the community’s understanding of Ukrainian identity. It also discusses the challenges to that identity since the arrival of the Fourth Wave of Ukrainian immigration which began in 1991. It charts the intra-group tensions which arose in the community due to different understandings of what it means to be Ukrainian and describes how competing Ukrainian identities found within the Fourth Wave of immigration have shifted the dynamic in the Ukrainian community, explaining low involvement of Fourth Wave members within community institutions such as the Ukrainian school.

Klymasz, Andrea Karen. "Folk medicine : a Ukrainian Canadian experience." 2009. http://hdl.handle.net/1993/3654.
Full textAbstract:
This study is an ethnographic description of contemporary Ukrainian Canadian folk medicine. The focus is on healing techniques of Canadian born Ukrainians, primarily in Manitoba. The folk medicine practised in Manitoba consists almost exclusively of wax pouring. This healing method is performed by a few Ukrainian Canadian women and is believed to be an effective cure for evil eye for those people who believe in it. A healer in a small rural Manitoba town is the main informant. Interviews with people who had been to healers in their lifetime are also included. The materials gathered show that urban and rural differentiation does not affect beliefs in folk medicine. Small towns may be physically isolated from large cities, but the people are not. Folk medicine and Western biomedicine exist together and may be utilized by the same people. Ukrainian folk medicine continues to be practised and used by more women than men, although the younger generation is quickly losing belief in the traditional ways. Historically, it is valuable to document Ukrainian healing techniques; anthropologically it contributes to an understanding of how these techniques are used today.

Full textAbstract:
This research is dedicated to the modern history of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada. Drawing on the analysis of the major events in the history of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada and fieldwork at the Holy Trinity Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral parish in Saskatoon, this research explores the institutional response to sociocultural change and examines how the institutional practices and strategies of adaptation impact the spiritual lives of church followers. To do so, I have addressed the following questions: how has the institutional identity of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada changed over time and particularly in the period of 1990-2013; what are the features of this institutional identity change and how do these changes impact the regular Church members lives; how have the adherents of the UOCC defined for themselves the meaning of being the members of the Ukrainian Orthodox community in Canada? Looking at both the institutional development of the UOCC and then focusing on a particular parish and its experiences with institutional changes, I am presenting insights as to how religious and ethnic identities of the UOCC have been intersecting, reshaping, and evolving in the period of 1990-2013.

Grekul, Lisa. "Re-placing ethnicity : literature in English by Canada’s Ukrainians." Thesis, 2003. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/14949.
Full textAbstract:
This study traces the development of prose, poetry, drama, and (creative) nonfiction
written in English by Canadians of Ukrainian descent during the twentieth
century. The thesis argues that, although Ukrainian Canadian literature has been underrepresented
in Canadian and Ukrainian Canadian studies, it makes a substantial
contribution to ongoing debates about the ways in which individuals (re)define their
sense of self, community, history, and home in the process of writing.
Chapter One provides an overview of Ukrainian Canadian history, and outlines
the development of a Ukrainian Canadian literary tradition. Chapter Two examines the
assimilationist rhetoric articulated by such non-Ukrainian Canadian writers as Ralph
Connor, Sinclair Ross, and Margaret Laurence, as well as that of Vera Lysenko (author of
Yellow Boots, 1954, the first English-language novel by a Ukrainian Canadian). Chapter
Three focuses on Maara Haas's novel The Street Where I Live (1976), George Ryga's
play A Letter to My Son (1981), and Andrew Suknaski's poetry (published in Wood
Mountain Poems, 1976; the ghosts call you poor, 1978; and In the Name of Narid, 1981),
and explores these writers' responses to the policies and practices of multiculturalism.
Chapter Four identifies the shift toward transnational or transcultural discourses of
individual- and group-identity formation in Janice Kulyk Keefer's and Myrna Kostash's
writing, especially that which records their travels "back" to Ukraine.
The central argument of the thesis is that if Ukrainian Canadians are to maintain
meaningful ties to their ethnic heritage, they must constantly—if paradoxically—reinvent
themselves as Ukrainians and as Canadians. In examining this paradox, the study draws parallels between Lysenko and Kulyk Keefer, both of whom rely on conventional
narrative techniques in their writing and privilege nation-based models of identity that
marginalize the experiences of ethnic minorities. Haas, Ryga, Suknaski, and Kostash, by
contrast, experiment with multiple languages and genres: shaped, thematically and
formally, by their experiences as hybrid subjects, their texts illustrate that ethnicity is less
product than process; less fixed than fluid; constantly under construction and open to
negotiation. The concluding chapter of the thesis, reflecting on the past and the present
of Ukrainians in Canada, calls for the next generation of writers to continue re-imagining
their communities by pushing the boundaries of existing language and forms.

Full textAbstract:
This is a study of the poetry written by Ukrainian immigrants and published in Kanadiiskyi farmer, the first Ukrainian newspaper in Canada, during the period from 1905 to 1910. It provides an analysis of representative works out of a total of 127 poems written by 63 poets. It describes the poetry under the major themes of Oppression/Exploitation in Ukraine, Nostalgia/Homesickness/Pioneer Hardships, New Life in Canada, Patriotism, Education, Need for Collective Action, Improving morals, and other everyday themes. The complete Ukrainian text of the 127 poems is included in an appendix. The thesis argues that newspaper poetry was an important tool used by the Ukrainian immigrant leadership in their quest for advancement of their people in Canada, and that newspaper poetry is a rich source of information on the Ukrainian immigrants and is therefore worthy of scholarly attention.

Full textAbstract:
Discourses of diaspora and transnationalism have begun to question previous traditional assumptions about the inevitability of ethnic assimilation by drawing attention to various kinds of hybrid identities, but I contend that, in contemporary Canadian literature, we cannot replace an outmoded model of eventual integration with an uncritical vision of ethnic persistence and hybridity. Much thinking about diasporic and ethnic identities suggests that, on the one hand, there are genuine marginalized identities worthy of inquiry and, on the other, there are symbolic ones undeserving of serious study. This dissertation focuses on the supposedly disingenuous or symbolic kinds of ethnic and diasporic identities, providing an analysis of Ukrainian-Canadian ethnic identity retention in a case study of second-, third-, and fourth-generation Canadians of Ukrainian descent who both read and write in English (not Ukrainian). Looking at Ukrainian-Canadian literature from 1954 to 2003, this dissertation argues: (1) ethnic identity affiliation does not necessarily dissipate with time; (2) ethnic identity in a hostland manifests itself as imagined ties to a homeland; and (3) lacking meaningful public and private recognition of ethnic group membership yields anxiety about subjectivity. I first argue that as multicultural policies drew attention to racial marginalization, Ukrainian-Canadian ethnic identity shifted from being an aspect of socio-economic disenfranchisement to becoming a hyphenated identity with links to Ukraine. I then suggest that in order to make that connection to Ukraine viable, writers attempt to locate Ukraine on the Canadian prairie as a substitute home-country. Such attempts give rise to various images Ukrainian-Canadian uneasiness and discomfort, primarily as authors struggle to account for First Nations’ prior presences on the landscape that they want to write as their own. Further, I analyze attempts to locate ethnic authenticity in post-independence Ukraine that also prove unsatisfactory for Ukrainian-Canadian subject formation. The many failed attempts to affix Ukrainian-Canadianness as a meaningful public and private identity give rise to unsettled and ghostly images that signal significant ethnic unease not to be overlooked in analyses of ethnic and diasporic identities. In these ways, this dissertation contributes to ongoing debates and discussions about the place of contemporary literary ethnicity in Canada.

Vachichin, Svitlana. "The role of the winter folk song cycle in the Ukrainian experience (in Canada and Ukraine)." 2002. http://hdl.handle.net/1993/7815.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines songs of the winter cycle (Christmas koliadky and shchedrivky), folklore, traditions, and rituals both as manifestations of the creativity of an ethnic culture in conditions of accelerated urbanization, and as a way of preserving Ukrainian identity. The topicality of the subject is evident in the global problem of retaining national identity in a multi-ethnic environment. Knowledge of the festive-ritual culture plays an important role in such efforts at retention. In the context of the preservation of the culture of Ukrainians in Canada, the link between the diaspora and Ukraine is especially important. This link is often made through the communicative-informative system of Ukrainian traditions and rituals. Although in the rituals and traditions of the culture of Ukrainians in Canada many changed in the lexicon and content have occured, what remains unchanged is the essence, which serves to link Ukrainians in Canada with the culture and creativity of the Ukrainian people as a whole. Ukrainian customs, holy days, rituals, and the winter folksong cycle (koliadky and shchedrivky) were developed within a peasant environment. By adapting to urbanization, they counteract the movement towards a denationalized, homogenized everyday life. Even when the folk holy days and rituals undergo change and transformation through the influence of time and circumstances - and sometimes are even forgotten - the spiritual values and components of these rituals continue to live in other aspects of the culture. For example, koliadky and shchedrivky have been moved from the sphere of traditional folk culture to the sphere of art, the professional creativity of soloists, musicians, and choirs. The popular shchedrivka "Shchedryk, Shchedryk"- "Carol of the Bells" is one such example. The thesis examines aspects of Ukrainian traditions and folklore in Canada and the reasons why these traditions have been passed on.

Full textAbstract:
Internationalization of higher education has become a priority for many universities. It
provides them with educational models that can respond efficiently to current issues and
challenges of globalization. International academic collaboration plays an important role in the creation of such models and prepares educational systems to act effectively in foreign environments.
This study explores the Canadian-Ukrainian curriculum development partnership through
the specifics of institutional culture, power and joint project management. Canadian and
Ukrainian educators participated in semi-structured, open–ended interviews to reveal processes associated with their joint venture. The findings indicate that the project was largely influenced by Canadian and Ukrainian university conceptualization of internationalization and involved multiple cultural and professional perceptions of the partnership context and developments.
Diversity of expectations, commitment, acceptance of differences practiced in this collaboration revealed the importance of academic dialogue among developed and developing countries and suggested possible standards for future international curriculum development joint ventures.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyses minority shareholder protection in common law and civil law systems. Principally, this is done by examining closely-held corporations created under Canadian, Ukrainian and German laws. It examines minority shareholder protection by critically analyzing voting and related rights, the right to information; withdrawal from the company, expulsion right, the dissolution of a company, derivative action and direct action. The thesis also summarizes problems in the civil law system that cannot be solved in favor of minority shareholders. In addition to the above-mentioned, it provides possible solutions to the problems of minority shareholder protection in the civil law system, that is, methods by which to increase protection for minority shareholders against the majority and/or directors. Specifically, it focuses on cumulative voting, common law director’s duties, derivative action and the oppression remedy. Moreover, this thesis analyzes the possibility of incorporating some institutions into civil law legislation and considers obstacles to implementing them.

Using local primary sources, this work answers two questions. Firstly, is there a transnational political connection, reflected ideologically or materially, between the readership of Robitnytsia in Winnipeg and the Soviet Union in 1928? Secondly, what are the interests of the readership of Robitnytsia, as reflected in the Letters section? The answers to these questions are relevant to social historians because their focus is on content generated by the female readership of the journal, not the content generated by the male activists and political leaders who both contributed to and edited it. This work also highlights the value of Robitnytsia as a historical source of Canada, labour, gender, women's, and transnational

histories; one that has been under-utilized to date and is readily available to researchers in Winnipeg and other cities across Canada.
To evaluate and provide an analysis of Robitnytsia as a source of primary evidence, a brief introduction to the ULFTA, Robitnytsia, and the Soviet Cultural Revolution is helpful to the reader. After addressing the relevant historiography, the three chapters that follow provide analysis and the relevant context for the source work, including photographs and illustrations from the journal. Photographs featured on the covers of Robitnytsia provide insight into the imagery of the journal, as well as to the rhetoric associated with well-known images and icons within the working class Ukrainian community in Winnipeg.
Discovering the answer to the second question posed in this work was straightforward, as the priorities and interests of the working women in Winnipeg were highly localized and specific, including recognizable and accessible priorities to even those readers who are not familiar with the work of the ULFTA. These interests included basic literacy, education, labour organization, and participation in political and social activities. The evidence regarding a transnational link to the Soviet Union, the first question of this work, was even more clear: at the grassroots level, there was no such transnational link between the Ukrainian Left in Winnipeg and the Soviet Union in 1928.October 2016

"The dryland diaries." Thesis, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/10388/ETD-2014-09-1704.
Full textAbstract:
The Dryland Diaries is a multigenerational narrative in the epistolary style, a tale of four women, central character Luka; her mother Lenore; grandmother Charlotte; and great-grandmother Annie – cast in the Quebecoise tradition of the roman du terroir, invoking place and family, the primal terroir of a storyteller. The novel is driven by three acts of violence – the possible murder of Annie’s husband, Jordan, by her Hutterite father; the rape of Charlotte; and the probable murder of Lenore by a notorious serial killer. Set in rural Saskatchewan and Vancouver, Luka, a single mother, finds Annie’s and Charlotte’s journals in the basement of her farm home, where both her predecessors also lived. She reads their stories while attempting to come to terms with her search for her missing mother, and with her attraction to her former flame, Earl, now married. Luka learns that Jordan disappeared shortly after the Canadian government enacted conscription for farmers in the First World War, when Annie became a stud horsewoman, her daughter Charlotte born before the war ended. Letters and newspaper clippings trace the family’s life through the drought and Great Depression; then Charlotte’s diaries reveal her rape at Danceland during the Second World War. Her daughter, Lenore, grows up off-balance emotionally, and abandons her daughters. Luka returns to Vancouver and learns her mother’s fate. Told from Luka’s point of view, in first-person narrative with intercutting diary excerpts and third-person narratives, the novel examines how violence percolates through generations. It also examines how mothers influence their children, the role of art, how the natural world influences a life, and questions our definition of “home.” At its heart, the novel is a story about what makes a family a family, about choices we make toward happiness, and about how violence perpetuates itself through the generations. Inspired by Margaret Lawrence’s The Stone Angel, Carol Shields’ The Stone Diaries, and the place-particular writing of Annie Proulx and Guy Vanderhaeghe, The Dryland Diaries paints a family portrait of loss, hope and redemption, locating it on the boundaries of historical fiction, firmly within the realm of epistolary and intergenerational narrative.
