In 2005, the Ukrainian Canadian Foundation of Taras Shevchenko launched the John Syrnick Journalism Award. This award acknowledges the efforts of Canadian journalists, who produce insightful and substantive reporting on topics of interest to the Ukrainian Canadian community.
Named in honour of John Syrnick, a long time influential editor of one of the oldest Ukrainian newspapers in Canada, Ukrainian Voice, that celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2010. Mr. Syrnick served as editor from 1947 – 1970 and under his editorial stewardship, Ukrainian Voice enabled hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian Canadians to define and promote the interests of their community within a multicultural Canada.
