For more than 25 years our Society has been hosting an Annual Ukrainian Community Golf Tournament for it’s members and friends.  The tournament is for all golfers, young and somewhat old, regardless of ability.  The emphasis is on everyone having a good time.

The tournament is a Texas Scramble format, enabling all players of varying skills to play and enjoy the game.

Refreshments and a snack will be served after the ninth hole.  There will be a dinner at the Ivan Franko Centre after we finish golfing where prizes will be distributed.  We do appreciate donations so that we can continue to offer prizes to all players.

Where:   Country Meadows Executive Golf Course, Richmond

When:     Sunday, September 17, 2017

Cost:         Members –  $55.00, Non-members – $65.00

The “OUTSTANDING CANADIAN UKRAINIAN” contest was recently organized by the Open World Learning Society (O.W.L), a member of UCC of British Columbia.  This contest was an opportunity for Ukrainian youth to recognize “OUTSTANDING CANADIAN UKRAINIANS” on the occasion of the 125th anniversary of the first Ukrainian settlements in Canada and 150^th Anniversary of Canada. More than 500 Ukrainian-Canadian legacy multimedia stories were created by Ukrainian youth from different parts of Ukraine and are available on the O.W.L. society website.  This contest brought to light incredible stories of the outstanding members of the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada that has inspired many.

12 contest finalists were awarded a trip to Canada with a stop in Vancouver in June to learn English, gain volunteer experience  and leadership skills, to become familiar with the multicultural Canadian society and Ukrainian diaspora in Canada, and to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday. Among them are children of the Heavenly Hundred, fallen ATO heroes, refugees, and orphans. Their short profiles in English are available on the O.W.L. website.
