Ukrainian Rifle Association of Canada (URC), a combatant organisation founded on 3 January 1928 in Winnipeg on the model of the URC in the United States; its members were initially former soldiers of the UPR and UGA armies, and later other formations.

Registered as a legal entity (incorporated) in 1950. Since 1932, it has been a driving force behind the creation of the Ukrainian National Association of Canada.

Together with the Ukrainian National Association and the Organisation of Ukrainian Women of Canada and the Young Ukrainian Nationalists, it created the so-called fraternal nationalist organisations in Canada under the influence of A. Melnyk's OUN.

The main task of the USG was to support the struggle for Ukrainian independence and to preserve and promote Ukrainian military traditions. The USG maintained ties with both the Ukrainian Military Organisation (UVO) and the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN).

Through its cooperation with the UNO, after World War II, the USG supported the Melnyk wing of the OUN. The first members of the USG served in the armies of the Sich Riflemen, the Ukrainian People's Republic, and the Ukrainian Galician Army.
