16 December 2014 - Ottawa - The Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC) is pleased to announce that a stamp commemorating the 100th anniversary of Canada's First National Internment Operations is available for purchase.
During the First World War, thousands of Canadians, many of them of Ukrainian heritage, were designated "enemy aliens" and incarcerated under the War Measures Act in 24 internment camps across Canada, not for what they had done but for who they were or where they had come from. The Endowment Council of the Canadian First World War Internment Recognition Fund (CFWWIRF), undertook to design a Canada Post Picture Postage Permanent Stamp as part of their efforts to ensure that the story of Canada's First National Internment Operations of 1914-1920 receive proper recognition among Canadians. The Ukrainian Canadian Congress has organized these stamps to be made available to the general public through a grant by the Endowment Council of the CFWWIRF.

Ukrainian Philatelic Resources is proud to announce the release of its first full-color publication, the long-awaited record of Dr. Ingert Kuzych’s diamond award-winning exhibit LEMBERG: Cosmopolitan Crownland Capital of the Austrian Empire.
This volume, however, is much more than just a reproduction of Dr. Kuzych’s display – which is a chronicle of the postal history of Lviv/Lwow during the century and a half that it was under Austrian Habsburg rule (1772-1918). Introductory chapters present information on how the exhibit came to be assembled and on the evolution of the postal system in Central Europe in the three centuries prior to the Austrian period. (The latter chapter is an expansion of the “Before Lemberg” articles that appeared in Austria No. 182, Polonus Nos. 550-52, and Ukrainian Philatelist No. 109.)
