Welcome to CUCS

The mission of the University of Manitoba is to create, preserve and communicate knowledge and, thereby, contribute to the cultural, social, and economic well-being of the people of Manitoba, Canada and the world.

The Centre for Ukrainian Canadian Studies, as a part of the University of Manitoba, operates, therefore, within this rubric. Specifically, the mission of the Centre is to create, preserve and communicate knowledge relating to Ukrainian Canadian culture and scholarship. While our focus must by definition maintain a Ukrainian flavour, nevertheless, the Canadian dimension must be paramount in our thinking. Likewise our audience begins with those of Ukrainian Canadian heritage, but then extends to those who are interested in things Ukrainian Canadian, and ultimately extends to all the people of "Manitoba, Canada and the world".

The current Acting Director is Dr. Denis Hlynka. He may be contacted at:474-8907 or dhlynka@cc.umanitoba.ca. The Centre's office may be contacted at: (204) 474-8905 or ukrcanst@cc.umanitoba.ca.
