"This is an important contribution to the understanding of Canadian and Quebec history,
and to an appreciation of a unique Ukrainian community which found itself resident
in Quebec from the early part of the 20th century. "The declaration of the First World
War on August 15, 1914 against Imperial Germany and Austria-Hungary by Great Britain
found several thousand recent Ukrainian immigrants across Canada in a difficult situation.
Those who were not naturalized were considered as "enemy aliens" and they were subject
to registration and, if necessary, internment...Among the internment camps established
in various parts of Canada, an internment camp was established on 13 January, 1915
at Spirit Lake (near Amos, Quebec) to hold "enemy aliens"...The plans were to use
the internees to clear the land and develop an experimental farm to aid in the settlement
of this region... The first internees arrived in January 1915 in the middle of winter..Among
the 1,144 Austrian prisoners interned in this camp in 1916 were a large number of
Galicians or Ukrainians, recent immigrants from Austria-Hungary.." So begins this
unique historical narrative written by Myron Momryk. "The case of Val-d'Or is especially
interesting, being a city situated 530 kilometres northwest of Montreal and in may
respects similar to the mining communities with significant Ukrainian populations
established around the same time in Kirkland Lake and Timmins, across the border in
Ontario.These and other cities and towns that grew around resource industries in remote
ares in the Canadian Shield have a distinct make-up, which was naturally reflected
in their Ukrainian organizational activity. Having a strong working-class character,
they frequently witnessed strikes and labour unrest that were influenced in no small
part by ideological differences between radical trade unionists sympathetic to the
Communist Party and the Soviet Union, and the often more conservative immigrants from
Ukraine. Although seemingly far removed from world events, the Cold War was very much
a factor in some of the developments that took place in the one-industry settlements
in the northern reaches of Ontario and Quebec."
