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.

“TV.J. Kaye-Kysilewskyj and the First Wave of Ukrainian Immigration to Canada, 1891-1920″ by Myron Momryk
Many Ukrainians across North America can trace their ancestry to First Wave immigrants who settled Western Canada in the early 1900’s. Prof. Kaye-Kysilewskyj chronicled the early years of mass Ukrainian settlement there. Among his works were biographical dictionaries of the Ukrainian pioneer settlers of Manitoba, Alberta, and Saskatchewan.
Myron Momryk’s presentation was based on the various publications that Prof. Kaye-Kysilewskyj wrote on the Ukrainian pioneers in Canada and related material.
