UKRAINIAN MUSEUM OF CANADA
The vision, mission, and values of the Ukrainian Museum of Canada are rooted in those of our founders, the Ukrainian Women’s Association of Canada, who established our institution to nurture the Ukrainian heritage of Canada as a living culture.
We honour our founders and all the successive generations of Ukrainian women and men who have supported the Museum with their creativity, faith, hard work, and resources.
