The 1996 Ottawa area Ukrainian Community Conference
There was a community conference for all Ottawa Area Ukrainian
organizations and institutions on November 23, 1996 in the Champlain room of the Regional Headquarters Building, 111 Lisgar Street, Ottawa.
The main goal of the conference was to bring representatives of every Ukrainian organization into one place to discuss:
- the purpose, goals and objectives of their particular organization.
- issues that concern the Ukrainian Canadian Community.
- methods to improve communication, coordination and
assistance among the various Ukrainian groups in the
Ottawa area.
- getting more community use of the Community Centre on
Carling Avenue. Perhaps turning it into a resource centre?
There was also be a discussion about the creation and maintenance of an area of the National Capital Freenet( ) as a directory of Ottawa area Ukrainian Canadian organizations as well as a special interest group discussion section.
This years turnout was smaller than the community conference in 1995, but 11 organizations were represented by the participants.
There will be another community conference in the fall of 1997.
