Notes |
The United Empire Loyalists' Association of Canada was incorporated on 27 May 1914. Since that time, it has worked to unite the descendants of families of Loyalists; promote Loyalist memory and history; collect memorabilia and artifacts; support historical research and the assembly of databases of Loyalist family names and other records; and maintain buildings and monuments. It publishes a journal, The Loyalist Gazette, twice a year (in the spring and fall). The association also provides scholarships for Masters and PhD students whose research explores the contributions of Loyalists to the development of Canada. The organization's national head office is in Toronto, and there are local branches in all provinces except Newfoundland and Labrador. Membership is open to anyone who supports the organization's aims, regardless of whether or not they have Loyalist family heritage. Many of the group's members live outside Canada, particularly in the United States. Source: https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/united-empire-loyalists-association-of-canada |
