Tymofiy Koreichuk (; c. 1879 – October, 1919) was a prominent peasant politician in Galicia and Bukovina (now Ukraine) who became an early Ukrainian Canadian labour leader.
Early life
Koreichuk was born in Kitsman county in Austria-Hungary. In young adulthood, he formed a local branch of the Sich Society, an organization that promoted physical education and national consciousness. He attempted to give the Sich Society movement a more socialist orientation, but was shut down. Afterwards, he ran a Ukrainian workers' bookstore in Winnipeg due to his worsening health, but in 1917 in Ottawa he spoke at a May Day rally regarding the recent Russian Revolution and in 1918 in Welland he organized a workers' night school. After a few weeks, he died of tuberculosis.
