1 - Ukrainian History in Quebec
Ukrainians came
to Quebec in
three discernible waves, in three separate time periods.
The
effect the three waves have had on the character of the community has
not
been evaluated systematically, although it is generally agreed that the
community has been invigorated by the arrival of the third wave.
Ukrainians brought with them more that their language, customs,
religion
and folklore. Each wave of immigration also brought a different
intellectual
baggage or mentality. For example, the two clusters of pre-1947
arrivals
came largely for economic reasons, whereas the post-1947 group was
predominately
compromised of political refugees.
The first
group of Ukrainian
settlers, which we will call Fragment I, arrived
in Quebec between 1902 and 1914 and can be described as
"Immigrant-Pioneers."
Fragment II, the "emigré-Patriots," arrived between 1922 and
1929.
Fragment III, the Refugee-Nationalists," arrived between 1947 and
1954.
The term "pioneers," "emigrés" and "refugees" are used as derivatives
of different historical contexts to characterize the different waves of
Ukrainian settlement in Quebec.
You can read the History of Ukrainians in Quebec at the following links
below, from the book of essays, the Quebec Centennial Commission
the centennial projects honoring the Ukrainian pioneers who settled in
Quebec.
