L\u2019\u00e9laboration conjointe de ces ressources constitue une \u00e9tude de cas importante sur les injustices historiques perp\u00e9tr\u00e9es par le gouvernement du Canada au nom de l\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat national et de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9.

Consid\u00e9r\u00e9e par les historiens et historiennes comme la \u00ab\u202fpremi\u00e8re grande vague d\u2019immigration\u202f\u00bb au Canada, environ 2,5 millions de personnes sont arriv\u00e9es dans le nouveau Dominion entre 1896 et 1911. Une proportion importante de ces immigrants et immigrantes \u00e9taient de l\u2019Ukraine, activement recrut\u00e9s par un gouvernement \u00e0 la recherche de main-d\u2019\u0153uvre pour alimenter ses secteurs des ressources et de l\u2019agriculture en pleine expansion. Comme d\u2019autres personnes nouvellement arriv\u00e9es, les Ukrainiens et Ukrainiennes ont d\u00fb faire face \u00e0 de nombreuses difficult\u00e9s et \u00e9preuves dans ce qui \u00e9tait souvent une terre peu accueillante. Le d\u00e9clenchement de la Premi\u00e8re Guerre mondiale a profond\u00e9ment boulevers\u00e9 la vie des migrants et migrantes de l\u2019Ukraine d\u2019une fa\u00e7on qu\u2019ils n\u2019auraient jamais pu imaginer lorsqu\u2019ils ont quitt\u00e9 leur patrie \u00e0 la recherche d\u2019une vie meilleure au Canada. \u00c9tant originaires de territoires sous le contr\u00f4le de l\u2019Empire austro-hongrois, adversaire du Canada pendant la Premi\u00e8re Guerre mondiale, les Ukrainiens et Ukrainiennes et d\u2019autres Europ\u00e9ens et Europ\u00e9ennes ont fait l\u2019objet d\u2019une m\u00e9fiance croissante. Alors que les inqui\u00e9tudes li\u00e9es \u00e0 la guerre alimentaient la x\u00e9nophobie, l\u2019adoption de la Loi sur les mesures de guerre le 22 ao\u00fbt 1914 a fourni l\u2019instrument juridique permettant au gouvernement canadien d\u2019\u00e9mettre un d\u00e9cret en conseil le 28 octobre 1914. Ce d\u00e9cret a entra\u00een\u00e9 l\u2019internement de 8 579 Canadiennes et Canadiens catalogu\u00e9s comme des \u00ab\u202f\u00e9trangers ennemis\u202f\u00bb. Plus de 5 000 de ces personnes \u00e9taient d\u2019origine ukrainienne. De plus, 80 000 individus ont \u00e9t\u00e9 tenus de s\u2019enregistrer comme \u00ab\u202f\u00e9trangers ennemis\u202f\u00bb et de se pr\u00e9senter r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement devant les autorit\u00e9s locales.<\/p>\n
Les personnes touch\u00e9es provenaient des communaut\u00e9s suivantes : ukrainienne, autrichienne, bulgare, croate, tch\u00e8que, allemande, hongroise, italienne, juive, polonaise, roumaine, serbe, slovaque et slov\u00e8ne. Divers peuples de l\u2019Empire ottoman ont aussi \u00e9t\u00e9 victimes, dont les peuples kurdes al\u00e9vis et arm\u00e9niens, parmi d\u2019autres. Or, la plupart \u00e9taient Ukrainiens et majoritairement des civils. Il s\u2019agit du d\u00e9but d\u2019une p\u00e9riode traumatisante dans l\u2019histoire des Canadiens et Canadiennes d\u2019origine ukrainienne qui a laiss\u00e9 des cicatrices profondes longtemps apr\u00e8s la fermeture du dernier camp d\u2019internement.<\/p>\n

Connue comme la p\u00e9riode des premi\u00e8res op\u00e9rations nationales d\u2019internement du Canada, elle a vu des membres de familles ukrainiennes s\u00e9par\u00e9s et leurs biens confisqu\u00e9s et vendus.

One key event in Canadian history is the interment of enemy aliens during World War One. The Canadian First World War Internment Fund has worked with the Critical Thinking Consortium (TC2) to create free resources for teachers to help plan lessons which demonstrate how ultranationalism has been a part of Canada\u2019s history. These resources from TC2 build on the prescribed values, knowledge, and skills within a variety of Canadian Social Studies Program of Studies. The coordinated development of this resource presents a significant case study of historical injustices perpetuated by the government of Canada in the name of national self-interest and security. This resource offers teachers the tools needed to develop critical thinking skills and the skills required to assess historical significance. Why not access this resource with stunning visual, print, online, and media resources that will engage your learners? It is time to establish a generation of learners who will prevent the occurrence of injustices within our nation.<\/p> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Description\" _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" custom_margin=\"-25px||||false|false\" custom_padding=\"||0px|||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<\/p> Regarded by historians as the \u201cfirst great wave of immigration\u201d to Canada, roughly 2.5 million newcomers arrived in the new Dominion between 1896 and 1911. A significant proportion of new immigrants arriving in Canada were Ukrainians, who were actively recruited by a government in search of labour to feed its growing resource and agricultural sectors. Like other newcomers, Ukrainians faced many hardships, and struggles in what was often an unwelcoming land. The outbreak of the First World War profoundly further altered the lives of the Ukrainian migrants in ways they could not have imagined when they left their homeland in search of a better life in Canada. Having emigrated from territories under the control of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Canada\u2019s adversary during the First World War, Ukrainians and other Europeans came under increasing suspicion. As wartime anxieties fanned the flames of xenophobia, the passage of the War Measures Act on August 22, 1914 provided the legal instrument for an order-in-council by the Canadian government on October 28, 1914. This resulted in the internment of 8,579 Canadians labelled as \u201cenemy aliens.\u201d Over 5,000 of these people were Ukrainians. In addition, 80,000 individuals were required to register as \u201cenemy aliens\u201d and to report regularly to local authorities.<\/p> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=\"1_2,1_2\" admin_label=\"row\" _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" background_size=\"initial\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\" custom_margin=\"0px||0px||false|false\" custom_padding=\"0px||0px||false|false\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"1_2\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" custom_padding=\"|||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" custom_padding__hover=\"|||\"][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/ssencressc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Internment.Salon_-1.jpg\" title_text=\"Internment.Salon\" show_bottom_space=\"off\" _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" custom_margin=\"0px||10px||false|false\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" custom_margin=\"0px||||false|false\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<\/p> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"1_2\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" custom_padding=\"|||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" custom_padding__hover=\"|||\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.27.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" custom_margin=\"||0px||false|false\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<\/p> The affected communities include Ukrainians, Austrians, Bulgarians, Croatians, Czechs, Germans, Hungarians, Italians, Jews, Poles, Romanians, Serbians, Slovaks, Slovenes various people from the Ottoman Empire which include Alevi Kurds and Armenians, among others of which most were Ukrainian, and most were civilians. This marked the beginning of a traumatic period in Ukrainian Canadian history, one that would leave deep scars long after the last internment camp was closed.<\/p> Referred to as Canada\u2019s First National Internment Operations, the period between 1914 and 1920 saw members of Ukrainian families separated and their property confiscated and sold. Thousands of Ukrainian men were consigned to internment camps and years of forced labour in Canada\u2019s wilderness. Some have argued that the infrastructure development programs that received \u201cfree\u201d Ukrainian labour benefitted the Canadian government and the captains of industry to such an extent that the internment continued for two years after the First World War had ended. Perhaps most disturbing is the fact that this episode in Canadian history has been largely overlooked by historians.<\/p> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row
