Formal UGG-NCR meetings for this season follows our traditional approach of being convened on the fourth Tuesday of each month, with the exception of December where there we will not be any meeting. Meetings will also be suspended for the summer months of June, July and August. Start time is 7:30 PM (Eastern) unless otherwise noted.
Since the start of January 2020, the UGG-NCR’s formal monthly meetings have been delivered as on-line “Webinars” rather than in-person presentations / discussions.

“The Neighbourhood of Rosemont, Montreal: Construction of its Ukrainian Identity” by Kim Pawliw
This presentation focused on the identity construction of ethnocultural communities in neighbourhoods and on the role played by municipal governing bodies (the host society) in this process with the example of the Ukrainian community of Montreal. This community has developed an institutional landscape in the neighbourhood of Rosemont, meaning that many Ukrainian institutions are located there.
This communication presented the preliminary results regarding the identity construction process of the Ukrainian community of Montreal. It focused on three main aspects: 1. the process by which the neighbourhood of Rosemont became associated to a Ukrainian neighbourhood; 2. the identification of Ukrainians towards this neighbourhood; 3. the respective roles of municipal governing bodies and the Ukrainian community in this process.
