It is the third in a series of annotated guides developed to assist researchers in their work. This guide is not comprehensive as archival descriptions are being added on a regular basis to our online catalogue. The Provincial Archives of Alberta preserves the collective memory of Alberta, and contributes to the protection of Albertans' rights and the sense of the Alberta identity. In carrying out its mandate, of the Provincial Archives acquires, preserves and makes available for research both private and government records of all media related to the history and culture of Alberta, and serves as the permanent archival repository of the Government of Alberta. The Archives ensures a continuity of historical records of Alberta for today and tomorrow, so that the citizens of the Province of Alberta can use these records to better understand themselves. This mandate is hopefully reflected in this project and will provide researchers a good starting point for their research into the Ukrainian experience in Alberta.

Faubion Vice-Chair: Khamis Moses Technical Program Committee: open Secretary and Treasurer: open Long Range Planning Committee: Robin K. Connelly Outgoing Co-Chairs: Robin K. Connelly and Kingsly Ambrose From the Outgoing Co-Chairs: It has been great two years with the current leadership team, led by Robin, and the members of the Rheology Division coming together to energize the division with renewed activities. Last year, we had four promising young professionals present their work for the Isydore Hlynka Best Student Paper Award. The list of finalists for this year award is given in the next page. Your encouragement by attending these award presentations will be greatly appreciated. This year, in collaboration with Milling & Baking Division, we are organizing a symposium on ‘ Powder Rheology ’ at the Annual Meeting. The objective of the session would be to define the fundamentals on particulate material characterization and processing. We have lined-up experts from different fields of powder rheology with a hope that these presentations will provide an additional dimension to traditional ‘Rheology’. Please try to attend this symposium and update your knowledge in powder rheology. The leadership team strongly believes that the Rheology division provides great opportunities for networking . The division meeting and luncheon will be a great place to meet the pioneers and scientists who provided us with opportunities to learn Rheology, interact with representatives from instrument manufacturers, and connect with young professionals. The leadership team urges each of you to get more involved with the Rheology Division.

  • Governance Policy
    Governance Policy I. Purpose of the Governance Policy The Governance Policy establishes the governance framework for the Ukrainian Canadian Foundation of Taras Shevchenko (Shevchenko Foundation). The objectives of this policy are to: (a) Define the Shevchenko Foundation’s purpose, mandate and structure; (b) Define Board and Management roles and responsibilities; (c) Provide a consistent, coherent and comprehensive accountability framework which spans the entire organizational structure; (d) Facilitate strategic decision-making for the Board and Management; (e) Heighten Board, staff and external stakeholder confidence in the stewardship of the Board, the professionalism of Management and the integrity of the organization’s activities and processes. II. OVERVIEW OF THE SHEVCHENKO FOUNDATION OUR HISTORY In 1959, the Ukrainian community in Canada embarked on a significant undertaking – to erect a monument to Taras Shevchenko, Ukraine’s national poet, on the grounds of the Manitoba Legislature. $175,000 was raised for this endeavor. Two years later, on July 9, 1961, nearly 25,000 Ukrainian Canadians from across the country gathered in Winnipeg to witness the official unveiling of the monument by Prime Minister John G. Diefenbaker. The fundraising for this monumental project led to a surplus of $30,000, which was invested in an endowment fund dedicated to the preservation and development of Ukrainian culture in Canada. This fund was named the Ukrainian Canadian Foundation of Taras Shevchenko. Through the efforts of Senators John Hnatyshyn, William Wall and Paul Yuzyk, and Member of Parliament Nicholas Mandziuk, Bill S-21 – “An Act to Incorporate the Ukrainian Canadian Foundation of Taras Shevchenko” was successfully introduced in the Canadian Parliament and signed on July 22, 1962, by Governor General G.P.

  • Cultural Expression Among Canada's Ukrainians
    VISIBLE SYMBOLS CULTURAL EXPRESSION AMONG CANADA’S UKRAINIANS Edited by MANOLY R. LUPUL COVER ILLUSTRATION Peter Shostak. Was that your Baba’s coat? Oil. 1978. “Through a good quality silk-screen reproduction, Was that your Baba’s coat? has become a resurrected symbol. Ukrainian pioneers in Canada were known as men in sheepskin coats, the latter being undoubtedly among the most highly valued of the immigrant’s first possessions during the cruel, harsh Canadian winters. Later, the functional, bulky coats became objects of derision and their wearers targets of discrimination. To be less conspicuous, the once proud possessions were left on the farm. A very small number have survived and today can be seen mainly behind glass in museums. Was that your Baba’s coat? was painted to make the most important symbol of the Ukrainian pioneer again an important image.” (Peter Shostak) Visible Symbols: Cultural Expression Among Canada’s Ukrainians VISIBLE SYMBOLS: Cultural Expression Among Canada’s Ukrainians Edited by Manoly R.

This is a very relevant way to celebrate the 125th anniversary of Ukrainian immigration to Canada, and I would like to thank the Friends of the Provincial Archives of Alberta Society for spearheading this bilingual project to make the Ukrainian-related holdings of the Archives available. I am grateful to the Friends, and to the Ukrainian Pioneers Association of Alberta and the Alberta Ukrainian Heritage Foundation for their support in 2014 and 2015, and to the Alberta Society for the Advancement of Ukrainian Studies and the Friends for their support in 2017. This edition includes all the content of the first edition, plus those records in our holdings that have been described between 2010 and 2016. There are several changes that were introduced in this second edition, the main being the reorganized structure of the publication. If previously the holdings were separated by format into mostly textual records and audiovisual records, in the second edition we decided to eliminate this division. Many archival fonds and collections contain mixed, and frequently all types of media including text, images, audio, and video materials.
