THE FIRST UKRAINIANS IN CANADA
History has preserved the date and the names of the Ukrainians who were the first to come to the Canadian land. It was September 7, 1891, when Ivan Pylypiv and Vasyl Yeleniak, former residents of the village of Nebylin (now Ivano-Frankivskyi region) arrived in Montreal on board "Oregon" steam vessel. They were courageous men who left their relatives and native land in search of a better lot. They paved the way of 200,000 Ukrainian emigrants who settled in Canada on the turn of two centuries.
Now more than one million Ukrainians live in Canada.
