Read MoreOne of the aims of the Ukrainian Women’s Association of Canada, formed in 1926, was to preserve the embroidery, weaving and folk dress of early Ukrainian settlers. Members of that organization began to collect artifacts, and to exhibit and display them, with the intent to develop appreciation, build public support and preserve this heritage. As a result, the first Ukrainian museum in Canada was established in Saskatoon in 1936. Subsequently, the Ukrainian Museum of Canada, Alberta Branch was established in 1944. It was the first Ukrainian museum officially formed in Alberta. Now in its 80th year of operation, it houses thousands of artifacts illustrating many aspects of the cultural heritage of Ukrainians in Canada.
