Occasional Research Reports UKRAINIAN CANADIANS AND THE 1981 CANADA CENSUS (A Supplement to the Statistical Compendium on Ukrainians in Canada, 1891-1976) William Darcovich, editor Paul Yuzyk, associate editor Boris Myhal and Zenon Yankowsky, contributors Research Report No. 22 — 1988 Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies University of Alberta Edmonton, Alberta Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2016 https://archive.org/details/ukrainiancanadia22darc FOREWORD The work team which undertook the preparation of this Supplement included William Darcovich, Boris Myhak Zenon Yankowsky and Paul Yuzyk, nil of whom were involved in the preparation of the comprehensive parent volume, the “Statistical Compendium on the Ukrainians in Canada, 1891-1976.” It should not be surprising, therefore, that in content and format, the Supplement resembles much of the Compendium. Work on the Supplement was interrupted by the unexpected death of Paul Yuzyk. He was a Senator for many years and, though the responsibilities of public office were demanding, he gave generously of his time and effort to the preparation of the Compendium and Supplement and contributed beyond his professional involvement. The work team had two prime objectives for the Supplement: to include in full the revised data on Ukrainian origin which had become available in the 1 98 1 census as a result of the change in definition of ethnicity; and to “do something” about the break in the comparability with 1971 series created by that change. The first objective was realized by including the ethnic output of the 1981 census, single and multiple origin, side-by-side in the main tabulations of the Supplement, an inclusion which increases substantially the data on Ukrainian origin available in the public domain. The second objective was realized by the development of a data correction method which improves comparability of 1981 with 1971 series and serves as a “bridge” to the large pool of 1 97 1 and earlier data available in the Compendium. The Supplement could not have been undertaken without the financial support received from government, university and other sources. The work team is grateful to the Multiculturalism Sector, Department of the Secretary of State for providing a grant to purchase census data from Statistics Canada and to contribute to word processing costs; to the SUS (Ukrainian Self-Reliance League) Foundation, Toronto, for a further contribution to word processing costs; and to the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies, University of Alberta, for assuming publication costs of the Supplement. The team wishes to express its thanks to John Kralt of the Multiculturalism Sector, for his assistance and advice in the planning stages of the Supplement, and for providing copies of Statistics Canada ethnic tabulations. Thanks are due to Mark Wright, Consultant, Census Customer Services, Statistics Canada, who helped with custom data IV specification and retrieval. Members of the professional staff of Statistics Canada were consulted on sev- eral data problems. Thanks are due to Pamela White for comments on intercensus comparability of ethnic statistics; to Brenda Clarke for help in resolving some farm data problems; to J. Norland for advice on data for common-law relationships, and to George Mori for advice on school attendance data. Tamara Kandyba typed the manuscript on word processor. The work team is appreciative of her contribution in presenting a large body of data compactly and clearly. W.D.
