    UKRAINIAN CANADIAN STUDENTS' UNION СОЮЗ УКРАЇНСЬКОГО СТУДЕНТСТВА КАНАДИ UNION DES ÉTUDIANTS UKRAINIENS CANADIENS SUSK recalls the Canadian Train of Ukrainian Pioneers Larissa Schieven – Project Director One hundred and twenty years ago, Ukrainian pioneers arrived in Canada, with dreams of a better life for themselves and their families. After years of hardships, struggles and hard work, these brave Ukrainians made a home for themselves in Canada, and today, more than 1.2 millions Canadians have Ukrainian heritage. This past summer, in celebration and recognition of the hard work and sacrifices of these first Ukrainian-Canadian pioneers, the Embassy of Ukraine in Canada launched the Historical Train of Ukrainian Pioneers, tracing the path of the first Ukrainian settlers, beginning in Halifax and ending in Edmonton. Former Ambassador Ihor Ostash graciously donated 3 full-trip tickets to SUSK, the Ukrainian Canadian Students Union during the 53rd Annual National SUSK Congress in Ottawa. Four students, past and present SUSK executive members, had the opportunity and honour to take part in this once-in-a-lifetime experience, on segments of the trip. Augustine Krawchenko, internal relations director, Nadia Demko, secretary, Marco Jacuta, former president and myself, Larissa Schieven, project director, took part in the trip that began on June 24th, 2011 and ended on July 7th, 2011. On the train trip, which stopped in Halifax, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg, Saskatoon and finally Edmonton, were politicians, Ukrainian community leaders, members of Canadian and Ukrainian media, as well as artists, performers and musicians. Passengers were encouraged to wear authentic Ukrainian costumes. The SUSK participants are all extremely grateful to the Ukrainian embassy for the opportunity.

    APRIL 2016, Volume 58, Issue 4 Ukrainian Canadian Students’ Union President’s Message Dear Readers, The past few months have been very busy for SUSK, with our Executive spending many hours working on the upcoming SUSK Congress in Saskatoon. We have also been hard at work updating our position paper for the year, as well as updating our Student Archive by posting all of the names and authors of past issues online. The 2016 National SUSK Congress is back in Saskatoon after a 25 year absence. The entire SUSK Executive is thrilled to be working with the University of Saskatchewan Ukrainian Students' Association (USUSA) to help put on this 4 day event. Students from across Canada will meet to discuss various topics, learn from engaging speakers, and even explore a bit of the prairie life of Ukrainian settlers in the region. On the Saturday of the Congress weekend, SUSK is excited to be a part of the Vensa Festival - one of the largest Ukrainian festivals in Western Canada. Registration for Congress is still open for a short while so please visit congress.susk.ca to register today! Over the past few weeks, our SUSK Executive has also updated our position paper which will soon be live on our website, susk.ca. We identified current topics that are of importance to SUSK in both Canada and Ukraine. A few topics of the paper include Ukrainian studies, Ukraine's independence, the unjust imprisonment of Ukrainians by Russia, Ukraine's integration into the EU and NATO, and the Canada's Diplomatic Relations with Ukraine.

  • SUSK Marks the 100 Th Anniversary of Canada's First National Internment
    UKRAINIAN CANADIAN STUDENTS' UNION СОЮЗ УКРАЇНСЬКОГО СТУДЕНТСТВА КАНАДИ UNION DES ÉTUDIANTS UKRAINIENS CANADIENS SUSK marks the 100th Anniversary of Canada’s First National Internment Operations (1914-1920) During Canada’s First National Internment Operations (1914-1920), thousands of men, women, and children were branded as “enemy aliens,” and subjected to state-sanctioned indignities, including internment, forced heavy labour, and disenfranchisement. Internees were subjected to such treatment not because of any wrong they had done, but only because of who they were, where they had come from. The majority of civilian internees were Ukrainians and other Europeans. Racist and anti-immigrant attitudes were common during the pre-war period. Together with wartime xenophobia and ignorance, these attitudes were largely responsible for the internment operations. Internees were held in 24 camps across the Dominion. To mark the 100th anniversary of Canada’s First National Internment Operations, SUSK calls upon its member Ukrainian Students’ Organizations and all Ukrainian Canadian students to commemorate and raise awareness of these dark pages in Canada’s history. Events may include film screenings, informational exhibits/displays, lectures, seminars, and memorial events. In addition, SUSK encourages all Ukrainian Canadian students to support “CTO – The One Hundred Plaques across Canada initiative”, organized and led by the Ukrainian Canadian Civil Liberties Foundation (UCCLF). On Friday August 22, 2014 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the War Measures Act, 100 commemorative plaques will be unveiled across Canada. All plaques will be unveiled at 11am local time in Ukrainian, Croatian, Serbian, German, and Hungarian community centres, creating a “wave” of unveilings, moving from east to west across Canada.
