	University of Manitoba: Centre for Ukrainian Canadian Studies (CUCS)
		Of significance is the fact that multiculturalism provided the Ukrainian Canadian community with a major challenge to rethink and reevaluate its future direction, especially in the areas of the arts, culture, education and maintaining language skills.
		In the Ukrainian Canadian community the English-Ukrainian bilingual program became a major success due to the influence of multiculturalism and its "concept of community development," one that involved the active support of parents and the community.
		Thus the challenge of multiculturalism was to give Canadians a greater respect for all its citizens, and to allow society to better mirror the reality of all citizens, by recognizing their various, cultural, racial, ethnic or religious backgrounds.
