Ukrainian Day at the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village
Ukrainian Day at the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village Join us this Sunday, August 25th for…
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.
Thank you to all who attended the two-day component of “Collections and Recollections” on May 3rd and 4th in the St. John’s Cultural Centre Auditorium. This 80-year retrospective exhibition of UMC-AB’s most noteworthy collections continues from May through November 2025 in the cultural centre foyer and until December in the museum gallery. Brand new displays containing some of our most well-documented artifacts collected over the course of 80 years will appear in the gallery and foyer from July through October 2025 as part of the “Collections and Recollections” series. “Collections and Recollections” is available for public viewing on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 11 am to 3 pm.
