Bio/Historical Note: Born in 1913 at Pinto, Saskatchewan, east of Roche Percee, Paul Yuzyk began his career as a teacher from 1933-1942. After briefly serving in the Royal Canadian Army, he returned in 1943 to the University of Saskatchewan to complete a BA Honours in History (1947) and an MA in History (1948). In 1949, he entered a PhD program in history at the University of Minnesota completing his course work in 1951 and his PhD in 1958. In 1951 Yuzyk started his academic career teaching History and Slavic Studies at the University of Manitoba; writing books and articles on the contributions of Ukrainian-Canadians and other ethnic groups. He became a spokesperson for what he called the "Third Force" or Canadians of non-British and non-French origin. While in the Senate Yuzyk played an active role in the development and implementation of multiculturalism, while figuring significantly in various parliamentary committees and in delegations to the United Nations, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). Yuzyk was closely associated with various cultural and human rights organizations; for instance, he was Director of the Canadian Council of Christians and Jews and Chairman of the Canadian Folk Art Council. Yuzyk died in office in Ottawa in 1986.
