In 1891

That was the year the first Ukrainian settlers arrived in Canada. This is a memorial honoring those brave pioneers. Alberta has a very large Ukrainian population many of who live in Edmonton

I like the light contrast between the two sides. Thank you for sharing this and the history. I did not know that there is a big community of Ukrainians living in Canada.

[Wendy]

A wonderful memorial. I had a ton of friends with Ukrainian heritage when I lived in Bonnyville. They are great people - so hard-working and friendly. And - their food is fabulous!

[Claes]

Really like how the light splits the memorial into two parts - almost like a symbol on past/future for the settlers.
