DAUPHIN, Manitoba - A trilingual commemorative plaque will be unveiled on Saturday, August 5, at 12:30 p.m. at the Ukrainian National Festival, Selo-Ukraina.

The marker will recall all 24 Canadian concentration camps where Ukrainians and other Europeans were held as "enemy aliens" during Canada's first national internment operations of 1914-1920.

The event is organized by the Ukrainian Canadian Civil Liberties Association in cooperation with the Dauphin-based Ukrainian National Festival and its Memorial Committee, headed by Peter Bilash. The public is welcome to attend. For more information call Mr. Bilash at (204) 638-8400.
