An Act respecting Ukrainian Heritage Month
This bill is a short, symbolic measure. It officially designates the month of September as "Ukrainian Heritage Month" across Canada, every year going forward.
The bill's preamble explains the reasoning behind this designation: Canada is home to more than 1.3 million Ukrainian-Canadians, the first recorded Ukrainian immigrants arrived in Canada in September more than 125 years ago, and Ukrainian-Canadians have made significant contributions to Canada's social, economic, political, and cultural life, including in areas like art, language, food, religion, and folklore.
The bill does not create any new programs, funding, holidays, or legal obligations. It simply gives formal, legislative recognition to September as a month for remembering, celebrating, and educating people about the history and contributions of Ukrainian-Canadians.
This bill designates September as "Ukrainian Heritage Month" and creates no new powers, bodies, or duties.

No lobbying meeting on record names this bill.
Organisations file monthly reports with the Commissioner of Lobbying describing what they discussed. Those filings carry no bill number, so Arena links one only when the text names it — an organisation can lobby this subject without ever writing the number down. Current to Sep 2026.
