==The Internment==

From 1914-1920, 8,579 men were interned by the Canadian government and placed in concentration camps.  Of these, over 5,000 were Ukrainians. The others were mostly [[Poland|Poles]], [[Hungary|Hungarians]], [[Croatia|Croats]], [[Serbia|Serbs]], and [[Slovakia|Slovaks]]. Most of these were men, though some woman and children were also interned.  Victims had all of their property and wealth confiscated by the Canadian government, and never returned.  Those interned were placed in one of twenty four concentration camps across Canada.  There they were forced to do heavy labor to profit the government under abusive conditions.<ref>[http://www.infoukes.com/history/internment/badly_treated_in_every_way/ Peter Melnycky ''Badly Treated in Every Way '']</ref>  They were used to develop [[Banff National Park]], the logging industry in Northern [[Ontario]] & [[Quebec]], and the steel mills in [[Ontario]] & [[Nova Scotia]], and in the mines in [[British Columbia]], [[Ontario]] & [[Nova Scotia]].
