Their mission is to create a vibrant and engaged Ukrainian-Canadian community that celebrates its heritage while contributing to the broader Canadian society.
History of UNF Avalon
The Ukrainian National Federation Avalon (UNF Avalon) was officially registered in 2023 with the goal of supporting and developing the Ukrainian community on the Avalon Peninsula, part of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. This organization’s establishment was a response to the growing number of Ukrainians immigrating to the region and a desire to preserve Ukrainian culture, language, and traditions in a new land.
UNF Avalon was founded to support newcomers, organize cultural events and educational programs, and create opportunities for active community life. The organization is actively working on developing a Ukrainian language school, cultural workshops, and celebrating Ukrainian traditions such as Christmas, Easter, and other important community events.
Since the center was officially registered, UNF Avalon has organized a variety of cultural and social events that strengthen the bonds among Ukrainians and help newcomers integrate into Canadian society.
