Harvest of Dreams: a Celebration of the Centennial of Ukrainians in Canada __ "In 1891, Ivan Pylypiw and Wasyl Eleniak left the village of Nebyliw in Western Ukraine to settle in Canada becoming the first two permanent settlers from Ukraine. There are nearly a million Canadians who trace their ancestry to Ukraine.They are prominent in every area of Canada's economic, political and social life. Although Ukrainians are very much a part of the fabric of Canada, they have vigorously maintained their own distinctive cultural identity, which is reflected in unique regional life styles, a vibrant community life, rich religious customs and colourful art forms. The centennial of the first Ukrainian settlers in Canada offers an opportunity to celebrate the richness and diversity of Canada's Ukrainian heritage. It is indeed a "Harvest of Dreams". - From Schoolnet Digital Collections - http://collections.ic.gc.ca/centennial/english.html

 


 
Internment of Ukrainians in Canada 1914-1920 __ You will read a documentary of the internment of Ukrainians in Canada during W.W.I. "These internees were used to develop Canadian infrastructure as "forced-labourers". They were used to develop Banff National Park, the logging industry in Northern Ontario & Quebec, the steel mills in Ontario & Nova Scotia, and in the mines in British Columbia, Ontario & Nova Scotia. This infrastructure development program benefited Canadian corporations to such a degree that the internment was carried on for two years after the end of World War I. - http://www.infoukes.com/history/internment/

Scots in Canada __ "Before 1971, Canadians of Scottish descent were listed as a separate category from British. In the 1960's, they were the third largest ethnic group in the country (after the English and French). Including large numbers of Scotch-Irish from Ulster, they have formed a distinctive cultural group since the 17th century. Not only did the Scots (of all categories, Highland, Lowland and Scotch-Irish) prove particularly influential in the settlement and growth of Canada; they also quickly assumed roles of leadership and influence in Canadian society." - From britannia.com - http://britannia.com/celtic/scotland/scot18.html

 

 
A Sense of Belonging: Somali Settlement Experiences in Canada __ "The growing Somali community is considered to be one of the most disadvantaged and at the same time most ambitious among the visible and ethnic minorities. In many cases, Somali families fled Somalia and could only bring the number of children the family can afford. The decision of who would depart and who would stay is the most difficult one since there are mothers who leave young children behind in the hopes of sponsoring them, once they become permanent residents." There is a quiz covering what you have learned. - illustrated - From Schoolnet Digital Collections - http://collections.ic.gc.ca/somalia/
