SUSK calls on its member Ukrainian Students’ Organizations (USOs) to join the UCCLA campaign asking the federal Minister of Canadian Heritage, the Hon. Mélanie Joly to address the situation of an abandoned Government of Canada cemetery containing the remains of at least 16 men and children.
Minister Joly is being asked for help in saving a Great War cemetery. During Canada’s first national internment operations of 1914-1920, a large camp holding Ukrainians and other Europeans was established at Spirit Lake, (today, La Ferme) in the Abitibi region of Québec.
