On the Ukrainian Heritage Route

A great Alberta story

Ukrainian communities have played a major role in shaping the province’s identity, especially in rural areas east of Edmonton.

Mundare

Known for its strong Ukrainian roots and food traditions: the giant sausage monument, Ukrainian Catholic churches with traditional architecture, and stories of early settlers.

Vegreville

Home to one of Alberta’s most iconic landmarks, the world’s largest Ukrainian pysanka, along with local museums that explain the symbolism behind the painted eggs.

The heritage countryside

Historic churches, farmland and original settlement patterns: this is where Alberta’s cultural landscape becomes visible.
