The United Empire Loyalists' Association of Canada is an organization dedicated to enriching the lives of Canadians through knowledge of the past, in particular the history of the United Empire Loyalists and their contribution to the development of Canada.
In the main, the United Empire Loyalists were those who had been settled in the thirteen colonies at the outbreak of the American Revolution, who remained loyal to and took up the Royal Standard, and who settled in what is now Canada at the end of the war.
In addition to perhaps one Canadian in ten having a Loyalist ancestor, many who live elsewhere in the United States, in commonwealth countries such as Australia and New Zealand, or in nearly any other country round the world are also of Loyalist descent.
