Make a donation and help preserve Loyalist historyThe United Empire Loyalists' Association of Canada is an organization dedicated to enriching the lives of Canadians through knowledge of the past, in particular the history of the United Empire Loyalists and their contribution to the development of Canada.The United Empire Loyalists were generally those who had been settled in the thirteen colonies at the outbreak of the American Revolution, who remained loyal to and took up the Royal Standard, and who settled in what is now Canada at the end of the war. For more about the Loyalists, read History of the Loyalists. In addition to perhaps one Canadian in ten having a Loyalist ancestor, many others of Loyalist descent live elsewhere in the United States, in commonwealth countries such as Australia and New Zealand, and scattered around the world. The subjects in the menu to the left reflect the activities of many members of the Association, the branches, and the Association itself.Activities of the UELAC are guided by six key directives stated in its Mission Statement.Greetings from Ottawa Gatineau, Ontario!Although several people wear their period clothing for several of the events over the course of the conference, everyone who has brought such an outfit wears it for the Saturday gala banquet.
