October 28 is National Internment Commemoration Day in Canada. On that day we commemorate Canada’s First National Internment Operations (1914-1920). Under that policy carried out between 1914 and 1920, 8,579 men, and some women and children, were interned as “enemy aliens” by the Canadian government, acting under the authority of the War Measures Act. That number included 5,954 Austro-Hungarians, most of whom were ethnic Ukrainians. The UCC Calgary Branch hosted an Internment Commemoration at St. Stephen's Protomartyr Catholic Church on Sunday, October 24th at 6:30 PM.

Ми згадуємо національні операції інтернування в Канаді під час Першої світової війни (1914–1920 рр.). Тисячі осіб, більшість яких були українського походження, були ув’язнені в концентраційних, трудових таборах по всій Канаді. Пам'ятаємо. 
Панахида і програма пройшла в церкві Св. Стефана, у неділю 24 жовтня о 18:30. 
Livestream recording is available at the following link. Пряма трансляція була доступна за цим посиланням в YouTube: https://youtu.be/7gCEloLeDOE
