Th e year 2009 has seen the passing of three major donors who established endowment funds at CIUS: Ivan Boyko (1916–2009), Mykhailo Samytsia (1920–2009), Olga Fil (1935–2009), and Hanna Mazurenko (1923– 2009). On this sad occasion, all members of CIUS staff grieve this painful loss to the Ukrainian community. Th e endowment funds established by these generous donors will always remind us of them and their support of Ukrainian studies in Canada.

Many members of our community have paid tribute to the memory of a friend, associate or loved one who has passed away by making a donation to CIUS. Some have also asked family and friends to make a contribu- tion to CIUS rather than buy fl owers for the funeral.

It was a historic juncture that prompted many Ukrainian Canadians not only to refl ect upon their rich ancestral past but also to look toward the future in a rapidly changing world. Th e AUHF was founded by Walter Makowecki, Marshall Nay, Bob Kisilev- ich, Peter Horon, and Bill Chomyn—all long-time Alberta-based activists with the Association of United Ukrainian Canadians (AUUC). Th eir goal was to create a charitable foundation dedicated Back row (l–r): Edward Bilyk, Peter Horon, Marshall Nay, Orest Kisilevich, Bob Kisilevich; to promoting Ukrainian and Ukrai- seated (l–r): Edward Makowecki, Elizabeth Nay, Betty Kisilevich, Roy Paskuski nian-Canadian culture while fostering a board of directors fi nally to begin work chuk.

In 2008–9 there were three recipients of the John Ko- lasky Memorial Fellowship: Yaroslav Fedoruk, Volodymyr Kravchenko, and Oleh Turiy. Th e Kolasky Fellowship is awarded to scholars from Ukraine to conduct research and study in Canada. Yaroslav Fedoruk, senior research scholar at the M. S. Hrushevsky Institute of Ukrainian Archaeography and Source Studies, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in Kyiv, was hosted by CIUS from September 2008 to Janu- ary 2009. Much of his stay was devoted to verifi cation work on volume 10 of the English translation of Mykhailo Hru- shevsky’s History of Ukraine-Rus΄. During this period Dr. Fedoruk also wrote the introduction to the volume, titled “Overcoming Historical Stereotypes and Analyzing Ukrai- nian Foreign Policy, 1655–57.” He also verifi ed place-names and personal names in volume 10, checked the translation of the text, and edited the volume’s scholarly apparatus.

He was able to consult many European sources, espe- lated topics.

In Edmonton he worked in the Bohdan Bociurkiw Memorial Library at CIUS and the Provincial Archives of Alberta; in Yorkton at the provincial archive of the Redemptorist Or- der; and in Winnipeg at the archive of the Metropolitanate of the Ukrainian Catholic Church. In addition to his research work, Dr. Turiy gave numer- ous public lectures.

Th e visits by the three John Kolasky Memorial Fellows in 2008–9 remind us of the importance of the Kolasky fellow- ship program. Each fellow conducts research or works on a project and is encouraged to give lectures to academic and Ukrainian community audiences. Many of them have been able to achieve their scholarly goals as a result of their stays in Canada and have shared their wealth of knowledge with academic and community audiences in many Canadian cities.
