Originally called Ukrainian Canadian Committee, the Ukrainian Canadian Congress was formed in November 1940 under the initiative of the federal government of Canada and non-Communist Ukrainian organizations

UCC has a developed multilevel representation through its provincial and local branches that have become instrumental in addressing issues of concern to the whole community including specific needs of the new generation of Ukrainian Canadians at the appropriate government level.

Annual reports show the activity of all Ukrainian communities and organizations under the Ukrainian Canadian Congress – Alberta Provincial Council. Reports cover social, cultural, economic and historical projects as well as provide financial statements for public.
