During the Cold War, many Canadian politicians joined forces with the Banderite-led AntiBolshevik Bloc of Nations in Toronto.
The first ABN Congress in Canada was held on March 21-22, 1953, at the grand Prince George Hotel in Toronto. Those in attendance included: Bulgarians, Belorussians, Cossacks, Latvians, Lithuanians, Rumanians, Slovaks, Croats, Hungarians and Ukrainians.
Congress participants represented ABN branch organizations in Toronto, Montreal, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Sudbury, Fort William, Hamilton, St. Catharines, Timmins, Welland and Lethbridge.
