Multiculturalism - Dr. Lupul to Speak

For a unique, historical perspective on Ukrainians and the Policy of Multiculturalism in Canada, here's an opportunity to hear Dr. Manoly Lupul.   He has a very close perspective on its origins, impact and some personal observations on the legacy of this widely accetped policy.  On Thursday, October 25, 2012, the Ukrainian Canadian Professional and Business Association of Calgary is hosting a dinner meeting with guest speaker! 

Dr. Lupul is Professor Emeritus of the University of Alberta, one of the many minds who contributed to the development of the founding principles of the multiculturalism policy for Canada. Over his career, and in the forty years since the Government of Canada enacted the policy of Multiculturalism, the world has changed significantly.  In fact it is believed that the adoption of this policy in Canada has fundamentally changed how ethnocultural groups are perceived and treated here in Canada, paving the way for change elsewhere.

Come hear how community advocacy, and interactions with policy makers, contributed to Government policy, and how Canada has evolved over time -everything from perceptions of cultural maintenance, inter-cultural communication, integration and race relations.  What an interesting discussion to have with Dr. Manoly Lupul - hope you can attend.

The Ancient Slavonic Question - “kamo griadeshi, Ukraino?"

For a lot of Ukrainian Calgarians there has always been a desire to know what the politial situation is in Ukraine after the enthusiasm and expectations of Independence some 20 years ago.  The Ukrainian Canadian Professional and Business Association of Calgary regularly has guest speakers at their monthly meetings, and this week Oleh Havrylyshyn is speaking.  "Quo Vadis Ucraina? (Kamo Griadeshi, Ukraino?)"  will be discussed this Thursday, May 31, 2012 at the Danish Canadian Club, Valhalla Ballroom    at  727 - 11th Avenue SW  Calgary. 

what positive results has Ukraine achieved economically, politically, historically?
why has it fallen behind other post-communist countries, especially in Central Europe?
what harm has oligarch dominance done, and can Ukraine overcome this ?
what are the key reforms /changes needed to correct its wayward path?
for the future, in answer to the ancient Slavonic question, “kamo griadeshi, Ukraino?" -- is the path towards the EU, a new Russian sphere, or a third unknown scenario?

Dr. Oleh Havrylyshyn has had a long and distinguished academic career as a Professor of Economics in leading universities in Canada, the U.S. and Europe, and has been a consultant to various governments, the World Bank, and other international agencies.
