After decades of Ukrainian Community concerns, in 1999 three groups finally arrived in unison to make a difference. Watch how the Taras Shevchenko Foundation with a 37 year history of Fund stewardship; and the Ukrainian Canadian Civil Liberties Association(UCCLA),a community advocacy group on internment redress throughout the 1990’s and beyond and the Ukrainian Canadian Congress(UCC) developed and executed a unified strategy to seek redress from the Federal Government.
