Hi, I came across this site while looking for information concerning the 1911 census. This would be valuable information for those of Ukrainian heritage. The Dominion Census, taken in June 1911, had identified 39,577 Germans, 121,430 Austro-Hungarians, 1,666 Bulgarians and 4,768 Turks and Syrians in Canada. Though not exactly information on the 1911 census. No doubt most of the names of these Ukrainians were on the 1911 census and no doubt would be found again on the 1916 census as listed in internment camps, located in various parts of Canada. I took a brief look at the pdf file for the Roll Call, there is 91 pages with names starting on page four, I believe for those in the various camps across Canada. I couldn't help but wonder if this might be part of the reason for the 20 non-disclosure clause in Bill S-13. These people were still in the camps during the 1918 census. They were actually held for two years after the war (1914-1918) and they were used by the Government as forced labourers. This is a most impressive site. Regards Juanita http://www.infoukes.com/history/internment/ Interment of Ukrainians in Canada 1914-1920 Introduction The purpose of these pages is to inform the general population about the Canadian Government's internment of Ukrainian Canadians in Concentration Camps in Canada during the period of 1914-1920. With the outbreak of World War I, the War Measures Act (1914) was implemented as a result of an Order In Council by the Canadian Government. This resulted in the internment of 8,579 "enemy aliens" of which over 5,000 were Ukrainians who had emigrated to Canada from territories under the control of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It also meant an additional 80,000 individuals (of which the vast majority were Ukrainians) were obliged to register as "enemy aliens" and then required to report to local authorities on a regular basis. http://www.uccla.ca/images/Roll_Call.pdf

Good Morning Juanita, Just came home for a quick change.after yet another funeral, and to check mail. Although we are very aware of the Internment of the Japanese, A black mark in our history. The Internment of the Ukrainian people [and others ]is another black mark,in our countries history. Ignore it and it will all go away? Perhaps a Cause for Concern - in releasing Census information. [or perhaps not - there may be MP's and Senators who are not aware of this]. There are so many people in Canada and elsewhere - who are not aware of this part of Canada's History. Not taught as part of Canadian History. Most do not know the history of Banff - and the use of Interned Ukrainians as the labour force in building the park. and other projects across Canada. There are few books. There is a National Film Board of Canada Film - Freedom had a Price - http://cmm.onf.ca/E/titleinfo/index.epl?id=32014 http://cmm.onf.ca/E/titleinfo/index.epl?id=33312&expr=&sid=&coll=&type= excellent - but is seldom if ever played. I had contacted the History Channel about this. Whether or not they consider showing this movie .It can sometimes be found languishing on a back shelf at some libraries. and perhaps some University Libraries.and Ukrainian Genealogy societies . Well worth the search. and Perhaps a contributing factor - in the concern about releasing Census information.
