Patron of Ukrainian Culture Born in Verkhnie Syniovydne, Ukraine, Petro Jacyk immigrated to Canada, 1949, becoming one of Toronto’s most successful builders and land developers over the next 50 years. A noted philanthropist who never forgot his roots, he was instrumental in the establishment of the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute. At the University of Toronto, he financed the Jacyk Collection of Ukrainian Serials, the Central and Eastern European Research Centre, and the Endowment for Ukrainian periodicals. At the University of Alberta, 1989, the Jacyk Centre for Ukrainian Historical Research was created with a one million dollar donation. He has endowed the Jacyk Ukrainian Studies Program at Columbia University, 1994, and the Jacyk Lectureship in Ukrainian Studies at the University of London, 1991. In 1996, President Leonid Kuchma of Ukraine honoured Petro Jacyk with the Presidential Prize of Ukraine for his patronage of Ukrainian culture, education, and scholarship.
