Ukrainian
Community in Quebec
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.
