On 26 September 2015, Ukrainian World Congress (UWC) President Eugene Czolij delivered greetings during a Ukrainian Canadian Congress banquet at the Parliament of Canada in Ottawa.
In his greetings, Eugene Czolij thanked the Government of Canada for its strong support of Ukraine, acknowledged the active work of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress to that end and assured that the Ukrainian diaspora, with the UWC in the forefront, will continue to work to ensure that Ukraine can protect its independence and territorial integrity and implement the necessary reforms to become a fully democratic European country.
