The Friends of the Ukrainian Village Society are a non-profit, charitable organization formed in 1984 to promote and encourage the use of the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village. The Society believes that the history of our forefathers should be preserved as an integral component of Alberta’s rich historical past. We believe that the Ukrainian settlement of east central Alberta is accurately depicted by the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village, Provincial Historic Site and will continue to enrich the lives of generations of individuals through the presentation of this history. The mission of the Society includes fundraising, promotion and specific program development. These portions of the mission aid in the enhancement and expansion of the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village.

Numerous efforts are undertaken by the Society to enhance the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village. A strong membership base of over 500 members provides volunteers for special fundraising dinners, raffles, and casinos as well as for special site project fundraising initiatives. To become a member please contact the Society.

Also, the Friends of the Ukrainian Village are proud to present the Historic Children’s Program held in the months of July and August. This is a weeklong summer day camp program for children grades 2 to 6 designed to teach the children and allow the children to experience life in the early 1900’s. Dressed in historic costumes, the children emigrate from Ukraine to Canada, settle on a homestead, and begin living the life of a child at the turn of the century. The week is filled with crafts, games, family homestead life, a day in a one room school and much, much more!

Become a Friend and keep history alive for generations to come!
