    Citizenship ceremonies on Canada Day highlights our nation's proud
    history of immigration


    When John and Maria Cherneski arrived in Canada in 1903, little did
    they know the legacy they were eventually to create. As they travelled
    across the ocean in the bowels of the SS Armenia, they certainly had
    high hopes for their new country -- and the family they knew would soon
    follow.

    Their story is likely very familiar to the many first, second and
    third generations of Canadians. But for this third-generation
    Ukrainian, the story of my great-grandparents is as vivid and
    memorable as a bestseller.

    The history and background of the Cherneski family is similar to the
    history of many of the early immigrants from Ukraine at the turn of
    the century. At that time, Western Canada was neither settled nor
    developed. In fact, the provinces were not even designated.
