Ukrainian Canadian Congress, WWW site viewed January 19, 2021 Issues: Internment ("Thousands of people of Ukrainian and Eastern European descent were interned in concentration camps across Canada when the Canadian government's First National Internment Operations occurred during 1914-1920... The UCC is currently involved in projects that promote awareness and commemoration of this sad part of Canadian history. It is hoped that education about Canada's internment operations will keep further injustices like these from occurring again")
