As nation builders, Ukrainian Canadians have contributed a lot of backbone, hard labour, community institutions, cultural and educational treasures, as well as a trustworthy citizenry.
Ukrainian Canadian radio and television programs have done much to support community, Canadian community. Protecting these media channels is important for all Canadians.
