The Museum’s 75th Anniversary Year: A Retrospective of 2011
A
s we enter a new year we look back in great joy
and pride in the year that was 2011. It was one
filled with the triumph of an anniversary reached,
with tasks completed and accomplishments greeted.
It was one also of saying goodbye to trusted friends
and members and one of welcoming new visitors and
those who are discovering the Ukrainian Museum of
Canada and its Branches for the very first time.
The Museum hosted five exhibitions including
from Here to There the visual art of Parksville, British
Columbia artist Fay St. Marie, the stunning Pysanky
Mosaic work of Winnipeg, Manitoba artist David
Wasylyshen, the return of the superb artifact
collection of Winnipeg, Manitoba collector Leonard
Krawchuk in the Heart and Soul of a Collector, the
multi-media, national collaborative exhibition of Art
by 9 in Self Portraiture, and the final exhibition of
the year which continues until February 20, Picasso
My Way featuring the artwork of Saskatoon,
Saskatchewan visual artist Valerie Borycki.
A lovely spring evening brought a large crowd to
hear author Myrna Kostash do a selection of readings
from her newest book The Prodigal Daughter: a Return
to Byzantium. Spring also saw hundreds of children
and adults visit the Museum to participate in the very
popular Pysanka (Easter egg) workshops.
Summer saw four of the five branches of the
Ukrainian
Museum
of
Canada,
Saskatoon
Headquarters, Alberta branch, Calgary Collection,
Manitoba branch, and Ontario branch participate in
meetings at the Biennial conference of the Ukrainian
Self Reliance League held in Edmonton, Alberta.
This summer the Saskatoon Branch was visited by
former Ukrainian Ambassador to Canada, Ihor Ostash
and his delegation celebrating the 120 th Anniversary
of Ukrainian immigration to Canada and other
visitors from every corner of the globe.
Autumn brought great excitement and anticipation
as the Museum prepared for its 75 th Anniversary
celebration in conjunction with the 95 th Anniversary
weekend celebrations of Petro Mohyla Institute. An
overflow crowd filled the galleries of the Museum on
the evening of September 26, 2011 as a blessing was
given by the Very Reverend Taras Makowsky and
Ìóçåéíi Âiñòi
the Right Reverend ProtopresbyterVictor Lakusta,
Chancellor of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of
Canada. Four candles were carried to represent: the
original founders of the Museum (Marie Kishchuk),
the volunteers and members (Sonia Mysak), the
donors and supporters (Olga Kaye), and the future
members and donors (Stephanie Ortynsky).

The winter months brought our thoughts to
Christmas and all that we are thankful for. The
Yalynka Christmas tribute campaign brought in over
$15,000.00 that will be used towards children’s
programming this spring. The Museum Board
approved the launch of the Tree of Life Fundraising
Campaign, one of the biggest projects of its kind that
we have undertaken in recent years. Earlier in 2011,
a fundraising survey was conducted with a random
sampling of Ukrainian Museum of Canada
stakeholders which helped us plan the fundraising
campaign. We will be implementing and considering
the suggestions that the survey brought us about what
members, donors, and stakeholders wish to see our
Museum be. The initial goal is to raise $500,000.00
to meet immediate infrastructure and operating goals
and $2,000,000.00 in long term legacy gifts and
bequests. We are very excited to announce that
Senator Raynell Andreychuk is the Honourary Chair
of the Tree of Life Fundraising Campaign and Sonia
Mysak is the Campaign Chair. We are honoured and
very excited that these two dynamic women feel that
1
this Museum and this Campaign are worthy of their
time and energy. The Museum has hired Doreen
(Michayluk) Howlett on a one year contract as
Development Co-ordinator to assist with the
Fundraising Campaign. You will hear more about her
and her work in the next issue of Museum News.
We look to the coming year with great excitement!
The Tree of Life Campaign will bring the Museum
to the forefront of our thoughts as we provide for the
future of this institution and all that it contains, all
that it teaches and all that it learns. We have a
devoted group of board members, volunteers and
employees that are committed to the success of the
Museum’s mission and that are committed to
providing for that future. Our vision has never been
clearer, our hearts never more dedicated and our faith
never stronger.
Join us as we continue on this journey together
committed to the legacy of the first Ukrainian
immigrants to Canada as exemplified by the story that
still needs to be told. We hope that we will see or hear
from you soon!

Museum Recipient of Bequest
The Ukrainian Museum of Canada was the grateful
recipient of a bequest from the Estate of Ola Martyn
(Olha Martynyk). We wrote about Ola Martyn in the
summer 2010 Museum News and the collection of
photographs and documents that she had donated to
the Museum at that time. Sadly, Ola passed away
November 6, 2010 but not before generously leaving
2
the majority of her Estate to the Ukrainian Museum
of Canada which was near to her heart.
Ola was born in Lviv, Western Ukraine in 1924.
Her family was of Ukrainian origin. Her father owned
a small soap making factory which sold its product
through the Ukrainian co-operative movement at the
time. She lost her mother and an older sister at the
age of ten – a traumatic experience for a child. The
grandfather of Ola served as a field chaplain for
Ukrainian soldiers during World War I. Her uncle
became a petroleum engineer, and during the 1920’s
and 1930’s did some pioneering exploration work for
various oil companies in the Middle East and later in
Romania, Germany and Western Ukraine, a
profession and field in which there were practically
no Ukrainians at the time.
Ola grew up in Lviv in a bilingual milieu during
Polish, Soviet and German occupation in the 1930’s
and early 1940’s. She was sent to Ukrainian language
schools and completed her primary education in Lviv
and Peremyshl. In 1944 their house in Lviv was
bombed by Soviet planes, after which they decided
to leave to the West before the second arrival of the
Soviet troops.
Eventually Ola found herself a refugee in the city
of Klagenfurt, Austrian province of Carinthia, where
she stayed until the end of World War II. Ola was
artistically inclined and in 1945-47, she was able to
enrol in the faculty of architecture at the
Polytechnique in the city of Graz, Eastern Austria.
But the post-war circumstances did not allow her to
finish her studies. Early in 1948 she decided to
emigrate to start a new life in Canada.
Arriving in Montreal, she held a number of jobs
which were available to newcomers. In spare time,
she upgraded her knowledge of the official
languages. She worked as comptometer operator in
Museum News
various
firms
in
Montreal and Toronto
prior to working for the
Alberta government for
a brief time.
Ola was a private
person. After her arrival
in Saskatoon in 1958,
Ola
dedicated
her
abilities and time to
writing
poetry
in
Ukrainian and English
and to painting and
ceramics. She joined writers’ and artists’ clubs.
Her other interests were in natural healing,
alternative medicine and healthy living. She was
involved in the anti-smoking movement long before
it was officially recognized as a health hazard. She
corresponded widely, promoting a healthy lifestyle.
Her interest in natural medicine took her to the
Dominion Herbal College from which she obtained
diplomas. Locally, she volunteered for a number of
years to work for Home Care.
Another passion of Ola’s was travel. She travelled
extensively in the United States, Hawaii, Mexico, the
South Pacific, Polynesia, Australia, Tasmania, New
Zealand, the Caribbean, Western Europe and the
Mediterranean. In 1981 she visited Soviet Ukraine
where she was able to connect with former school
friends. She became an amateur photographer and
left many pictures of various exotic places, as well
as many archival photographs to the collection of the
Ukrainian Museum of Canada.
Ola was very proud of her Ukrainian origin and
supported various Ukrainian organizations, cultural
and charitable institutions in Canada and helped her
friends in Ukraine. Her frail health prevented her
from being more active in the Ukrainian community;
however, she willed her entire estate to Ukrainian
cultural and charitable institutions in Canada. Ola
Martyn left the Ukrainian Museum of Canada
approximately $400,000.00 which will be used for
gallery upgrading and partially invested in the
Museum’s Foundation Fund. We are so extremely
grateful for this generous gift and thankful to God for
her life and works.
May Her Memory be Eternal!

YOU CAN LEAVE A LEGACY
Have you ever thought about leaving a bequest to the Ukrainian Museum of Canada?
There are several ways to do so. You may want the Museum to receive all or part of what is left from your estate
after debts, taxes, administrative expenses and other bequests have been paid. A bequest can be a fixed dollar
amount, or a percentage of your total estate or you could leave the residue of your estate to the Museum.
When you make a bequest to the Ukrainian Museum of Canada your estate will receive a charitable tax
receipt and may claim up to a maximum of 100% of income in the year of your death.
Suggested bequest wording follows:
I give and bequeath the sum of $__________ to the Ukrainian
Museum of Canada of the Ukrainian Women’s Association of
Canada.
I give and bequeath ____% of my estate to the Ukrainian
Museum of Canada of the Ukrainian Women’s Association of
Canada.
I give and bequeath the residue of my estate remaining to the
Ukrainian Museum of Canada of the Ukrainian Women’s
Association of Canada.
Whether it is a fixed dollar amount, a percentage of your estate or the
residue of your estate, we will ensure your charitable wishes for the Museum are realized.

UKRAINIAN MUSEUM OF CANADA TURNS 75
On September 23, 2011, the Ukrainian Museum of
Canada celebrated a milestone 75th anniversary.
Approximately one hundred and fifty friends,
members, volunteers and special guests joined to
celebrate the present, and to recognize the foresight
of the original founders and the diligent and
dedicated work of the past 75 years.
J-A Chabun
The festivities began in the foyer of the Museum. A
prayer service and blessing was conducted by Very
Reverend Taras Makowsky and Right Reverend
Protopresbyter Victor Lakusta, Chancellor of the
Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada after which
Mnohaya Lita and Vichnaya Pamiat were sung.
In the main gallery, UMC Director Janet
Prebushewsky Danyliuk welcomed guests and
introduced the emcee for the evening, UMC Board
President Connie Senkiw. Greetings for the
Anniversary were brought by His Worship Donald J.
Atchison, Mayor of Saskatoon; Andy Iwanchuk,
Member of the Legislative Assembly for Saskatoon
Fairview; Ken Krawetz, Deputy Premier of
Saskatchewan; Zennia Yuzik, Past President of the
National Executive of the Ukrainian Women’s
Association of Canada; and, Steve Senyk, President
of St. Petro Mohyla Institute Board of Directors.
Mayor Atchison warmly recognized the activity of
J-A Chabun

our community. “You really
are making the city of
Saskatoon in the province of
Saskatchewan of the great
nation of Canada truly a
healthier, more vibrant place –
a
place
of
better
understanding,” he said.
One of the many people
who contributed to spreading
the understanding of the
significance of the Ukrainian
Museum of Canada and its
place in the heritage of Canada is Jennie Ortynsky,
Canora Saskatchewan. As past Chair of the Museum
Board Saskatoon headquarters and in honour of her
very significant contributions, Jennie was presented
with an Honourary Life membership in the Ukrainian
Museum of Canada.
Unable to attend the
celebration,
her
granddaughter
Stephanie Ortynsky,
accepted the special
recognition from UMC
Vice-President Sonia
Korpus.
After the program,
guests mingled while
enjoying wine, cheese,
anniversary cake and
music
played
by
Matthew Gruza and
J-A Chabun
Don Sawchuk.
The Ukrainian Museum of Canada was founded in
Saskatoon in 1936 by the Ukrainian Women’s
Association of Canada. The first gallery space was
opened to the public in 1941 at the St. Petro Mohyla
Institute, located on Main Street in Saskatoon. In
1965, the collection was moved to the Institute’s
current building on Temperance Street. The collection
soon outgrew that space and, in May 1980, the new
home at 910 Spadina Crescent East was officially
opened.
As Canada’s first Ukrainian museum, the
Ukrainian Museum of Canada serves as a centre
dedicated to the advancement of the knowledge and
to the preservation of Ukrainian heritage in Canada.
Its commitment to its original vision, heart and faith
remains unchanged. This was a great occasion for
celebration and very fitting that this was at a time in
the cycle and beauty of the seasons that is so close
to Canadian Thanksgiving.

UMC Ontario Branch Feature
Exhibition: CHRIST IS BORN
UMC Alberta Branch presents
REMEMBERING OUR ROOTS
This exhibition came about after the Friends of the
Crèche, an international association of people who
study, collect or simply treasure the Christmas
tradition of crèches, invited the Ontario branch of the
Ukrainian Museum of Canada to offer a related field
trip to participants of their 2011 international
convention taking place for the first time in Canada.
Because a highlight of the convention would be
an exhibit of 200 crèches, the Museum decided to set
its own crèches in the context of Ukrainian traditions.
Theirs was an exploration of the celebration of
Christ’s nativity amongst Ukrainians.
The Museum’s crèches are displayed against the
depiction of a 19 th century Hutsul family preparing
to share the Christmas Eve meal (Sviat Vechir).
Traditions that harken
back to pagan times
take a new meaning:
a child awaits the first
star, a reminder of
the star of Bethlehem,
to begin the meatless,
dairy-free
meal;
grandfather
and
grandson bring in a
sheaf of wheat, a
symbol of the family
and a signal for all to
gather at the table; an
extra place setting
Photo source: www.umcontario.com
invites the departed
to join the festive dinner and complete the family;
hay placed under the white tablecloth reminds all
present of Christ’s humble birthplace.
Four very different crèches are featured in this
exhibition – three from Ukraine and one a Canadian
adaptation of an animated folk crèche with a two level
stage and puppets. Also on display are original icons
and photographs of nativity scenes that adorn the
walls of four area churches. Finally, Christmas Eve
as depicted by noted artists, a postage stamp
featuring an icon of the Nativity and a coin stamped
with joyful carollers was also shown.
The exhibition was featured from November 11,
2011 to mid February 2012. It is hoped that the
exhibit awakens the spirit of Christmas in all who
visit. Christ is Born! Let us Glorify Him!

In celebration of the 120 years of Ukrainian pioneer
settlement in Canada, UMC Alberta Branch mounted
an exhibition “Remembering Our Roots”, featuring
artifacts from its collection together with photographic
displays depicting life experiences and achievements
of early Ukrainian settlers. The exhibition which ran
from November 2-6, 2011 was viewed by
approximately 700 individuals. Its primary objective
was to present a narrative of early Ukrainian
Canadian life in Central Eastern Alberta.
Displaying artifacts held in the museum collection,
the exhibition featured Ukrainian pioneer clothing,
weaving and embroidery, household and farm
implements, items brought with them and items made
in Canada. In addition to ethnographic materials there
was an extensive photographic display as part of the
exhibition. A major contribution to the photographic
display was “Journey to Canada”, a visual panorama
illustrating the first decade of immigration created by
the Kule Folklore Centre at the University of Alberta.
Drawing upon and collaborating with other major
resource centres enriched the exhibition beyond the
museum resources alone. Given the success of this
venture, the museum is looking to continue
partnering with other organizations in future projects.
The exhibition opened with UMC Alberta Branch
president Elaine Verchomin Harasymiw drawing
attention to the narrative element of this history. She
pointed out that these pioneers have left a lasting
legacy of which all Ukrainian Canadians can be
proud. “Their experiences form a narrative which has
changed the Canadian landscape politically, socially,
economically, and culturally…their stories define our
country and our lives as Canadians.”
Guest speaker, former Premier of Alberta, Ed
Stelmach spoke about stories he heard as a child
growing up in this environment, noting that, in his view,
the four mainstays of Ukrainian pioneer values were
faith, family, community and education. Dr. Andrij
Nahachewsky, Director of the Kule Folklore Centre,
described how social isolation compelled Ukrainian
settlers to band together and establish churches,
schools, community halls and to nurture family bonds.
Radomir Bilash, responsible for the Oleskow display
spoke about the Alberta Ukraine Genealogical Project
and its four major initiatives which are intended
principally to make public and archival records more
accessible to those wishing to research family history.
The Ukrainian Canadian Folk Chorus under the
direction of Lesia Pohoresky expressed the early era
of Ukrainian Canadian history through song.

Museum News
In keeping with the mandate of the Ukrainian
Museum of Canada, the intent of this exhibition was
to make the general public aware of the contributions
and achievements of Ukrainian settlers in Canada.
The exhibit targeted youth, Ukrainian Canadian
youth in particular, to nurture a connection and
appreciation of their historical and cultural roots.
Students studying Ukrainian in the Ukrainian
Bilingual Program and Ukrainian as a Second
Language Program were invited to the exposition to
learn about this period in Canadian history with
teacher-led tours, to view segments of Halya
Kuchmij’s documentary film “Laughter in My Soul”,
and to participate in hands-on educational activities.
Approximately 500 students viewed this exhibition.
Experience with this exhibit has opened up new
ideas and directions for UMC Alberta future exhibitions
in 2016, a benchmark recognizing the 125th
Anniversary of Ukrainian immigration to Canada.
The Ukrainian Museum of Canada, Alberta Branch
looks forward to working with all interested parties
in launching an even larger, more ambitious venture.

In her words,
“I do not paint

can’t. But he
said, ‘I am
always doing
the things I
cannot
do.
That is how I
get to do them.’
So, I am simply doing this thing I cannot do.
Picasso died on my twenty fifth birthday. He was
92. Now decades later, I am totally absorbed by
the man, his words, and his works.
I am soaking up Picasso…and I imagine that he
is painting with my brush. As he said, ‘everything
you can imagine is real.’ Welcome to Picasso my
way. Imagine and enjoy.”
Borycki, an artist of Ukrainian and Polish heritage,
is currently Artist in Residence at the Museum and
has been working with school children (who created
‘Valerie my way’) and the public during the course of
her exhibition. This is not the first time her work has
been featured at the Museum; in 2003 she created a
virtually sold out exhibition entitled Borycki’s Baba’s.
Picasso My Way continues until February 20, 2012.
Refreshments will be served
PICASSO MY WAY
The work of Saskatoon artist Valerie Borycki is
currently showing in the feature gallery of the
Ukrainian Museum of Canada. Picasso My Way is Ms.
Borycki’s tribute to master Spanish artist Pablo
Picasso (1881-1973).) She spent over a year
immersing herself in a study of his work and style.
Inspired by this ingenious artist, Valerie altered his
paintings with her own vision and created her own
version. The more she read about Picasso, the more she
began to admire his skills and the transitions that are
evident in his work.

BUILT WITH FAITH, HOPE AND
LOVE: Early Saskatchewan
Ukrainian Churches
The Ukrainian Museum of Canada is pleased to
announce the opening of Built with Faith, Hope and
Love: Early Saskatchewan Ukrainian Churches on
March 6, 2012. This exhibition features the sensitive
photography of Wynyard, Saskatchewan photographer
Ed Stachyruk.
The small rural Churches shown in this collection
have seen the extremes of climate and the full range
of human emotion over the past 100 years. They were
built with local materials such as poplar logs, clay,
and stones based on the traditional concepts of
Ukrainian church design. As a result, each Church
developed its own individual character, externally as
well as internally, based on the needs of the people,
the resources available, and the experience and talent
of local builders.
Mr. Stachyruk wished to photograph these interiors
while the Churches are still in an active state, even
if a service is held only once a year. The icons and
related items are still in their usual places, ready to
assist in the roles for which these Churches were
originally built.
The exhibition continues until June 3, 2012

MUSEUM BESTOWS
HONOURARY LIFETIME
MEMBERSHIP
The Museum was very pleased to add Ukrainian
Museum of Canada Headquarters Past President to
the very special group of recipients of a Honourary
Lifetime Membership in the Ukrainian Museum of
Canada. Jennie began her service to the Museum in
1998 and served as its Chair
from 2002 to 2009.
Jennie was born on May 20,
1927 to George Lys and
Anastasia Blahut in Sheo,
Saskatchewan.
A
registered
nurse
by
profession, she received her
registered status at St. Paul’s
Hospital in Saskatoon and did
her post-graduate training in
obstetrics, community and public health at Jersey
City Medical Centre, New Jersey. Jennie was
employed by the Yorkton and Canora Hospitals.
She has been extensively involved in her local
Ukrainian community and Ukrainian Orthodox
church. She has devoted her time to teaching Sunday
school, and working with Junior CYMK. A member
of the UWAC for 54 years, she served on the Heritage
Church, Trident Camp, provincial jubilee and
Ukrainian festival committees.
To Jennie, the maintenance of Ukrainian heritage
is paramount. During her time as President of the
Board of the Ukrainian Museum of Canada in
Saskatoon, she endeavoured to inform, educate and
exhibit the best of all that is Ukrainian. The
enhancement of the Museum has made it one of the
most prestigious outlets for Ukrainian heritage and
culture in Canada.
In 2000, Jennie was the honoured recipient of the
Nora Armstrong Award for Health Advocacy from
the Saskatchewan Registered Nurses Association. In
2005, she was awarded the Saskatchewan Centennial
Medal and that same year the Ukrainian Canadian
Congress of Saskatchewan presented her with the

Motanky: traditional Ukrainian magical dolls
When we say or hear the
word “doll”, we usually
imagine or imply a modern
child’s toy. However, the
motanky are actually a unique,
complex, and remarkably
interesting
historical
and
cultural phenomenon which
surely deserves our attention.
The art of making motanky
dates back thousands of years,
so we can only imagine how
important it is for Ukrainians as a historic item and
what artistic value it contains. Even more amazing is
the sacral meaning which our forefathers attached to
these handmade dolls, and that deep sense is
concealed inside them. Century after century,
mothers taught their children to make motanka dolls,
not only as a plaything, but also, and primarily, as a
powerful talisman of the whole kin, the symbol of
happiness, welfare and peace.
People have always believed that these dolls can
expel all evil from the house and help overcome
hardships and illnesses. Of course, the contemporary
people’s faith is often times of a different kind: the
world around us does not look as mysterious as it did
to our ancestors. Nevertheless, most of us, despite the
diversity of religious convictions, believe in the
wonderfulness and sacredness of life’s sensory
dimensions; we believe that the energy, directed to
others and received in
return is eternal.
Our
Ukrainian
ancestors
believed
everything about these
dolls were magical; the
colours of thread, the
organic stuffing and its
name. The motanka is
made with a winding
technique which the
word motanka indicates.
Knots were not used
because they “tied
your fate”. Scissors
were not used and
threads were ripped.
Stuffing was made
from grass, grains or herbs such as wild rosemary, a
symbol of prosperity and good health. It was believed
that with the aid of these dolls, people sought
protection from the higher forces or entreated them
11
for their help. The doll is used as a talisman and
certain rules are always followed by the artist. The
doll cannot have a face just a cross made out of
threads. This is explained by the ancient belief that
the human face is a reflection of the soul- it should
only take in the artist’s truthfulness and good wishes.
The cross is a symbol of the sun, hence – of light,
warmth and joy. Besides, vertical and horizontal lines
of the cross symbolize the masculinity and femininity
respectively, and their harmonic combination ensures
successful continuation of kin.
A variety of motanky which were made in Ukraine
by Zhanna Kapshuk are available in the Museum gift
shop from $20 to $125.
conditions leave her severely malnourished and
emotionally traumatized. Lida and her friends
conspire to sabotage the bombs to help block the
Nazis’ war effort. When her work camp is finally
liberated, she is able to begin her search to learn the
fate of her sister.
A powerful story of hope and courage in the face
of incredible odds.

Making Bombs for Hitler
by Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch
at the
910 Spadina Crescent East, Saskatoon, SK
In this companion book to the awardwinning Stolen Child, a young girl is
forced into slave labour in a
munitions factory in Nazi Germany.
In Stolen Child, Marsha Forchuk
Skrypuch introduced readers to
Larissa, a victim of Hitler’s largely
unknown Lebensborn program. In this
novel, readers will learn the fate of
Lida, her sister, who was also
kidnapped by the Germans and forced into slave
labour — an Ostarbeiter.
Lida’s small hands make her the perfect candidate
to handle delicate munitions work, so she is sent to

MUSEUM HOSTS RITORNELLO
CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL
We are pleased to announce an upcoming concert in
the Main Gallery of the Ukrainian Museum of Canada.
Established in 2009 by Carissa Klopoushak and
Jacqueline
Woods,
Saskatoon’s
Ritornello Chamber Music Festival is
an annual event which showcases
young, Canadian musicians who are
currently
pursuing
professional
careers across the country and
around the globe.
The festival’s mandate is to provide Saskatchewan
audiences the opportunity to hear superior quality
musicians, with special attention to those who were
born and raised in the Prairies. They seek to expose
a more diverse audience to chamber music and to
provide educational opportunities, such as master
classes and lessons, to young “up and coming”
Saskatchewan musicians. Ritornello Fest is a nonprofit organization supported by donations, ticket
sales and grants, and the only one of its kind in the
Province.

widowed mother Tsia, and her sister Anne, husband
Alexander Hydichuk and daughter Eva. In Chernivtsi
they boarded the train to the port from where they
sailed on the S.S.Assyria arriving in Halifax on June
18, 1903. From Halifax they went by train to Yorkton
later in July and then arrived by horse and a small
wagon on Olga’s uncle’s farm. They were reunited
with Olga’s grandfather, George Marianchuk. They
lived in a small mud plastered house until autumn
sleeping on dry hay. George and Mary Marianchuk
are buried at Westbrook cemetery near Theodore,
Saskatchewan.
Veronia Yarmie, Olga Kaye’s mother, was the
eldest child in George and Mary’s family and spent
her days looking after her younger brothers and
sisters while her parents worked at clearing the land
and digging seneca roots for a livelihood. She did
not have the opportunity to go to school. At an early
age she learned to do domestic work and was known
for making a five foot by two and a half foot tapestry
at the age of 13.
We are honoured to be the new home for these two
beautiful portraits of a mother and her daughter and
we look forward to being able to share more of their
story in an exhibition at a later date.
Thank you, Olga for this generous donation!
RECENT ACQUISITION
FAREWELL TO A FRIEND
The Museum was the recent recipient of two portraits
from Olga Kaye, Saskatoon. A long time supporter
of the Museum, Olga (and her late husband Ludwig)
have given numerous artifacts to the Ukrainian
Museum of Canada throughout the years and we are
please to add these two items and a poyas (woven
belt) to our permanent collection. In the portrait on
the left, Olga’s grandmother Mary Marianchuk is
depicted. Mary immigrated to Canada in 1903 from
their village of Waliva, Bukovina with her four
children, including Olga’s mother Veronia, Mary’s
We were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of
David Alexander Mysak on February 17, 2011 at the
age of 64. A long time friend and supporter of the
Museum, Dave was a devoted volunteer and mentor.
We will miss his advice, his wisdom and his candour.
Dave uncorked many a bottle of wine at Museum
special events and openings, his smile was infectious
and his gentleness, a treasure. He gave of his time
to not only the Ukrainian Museum of Canada and its
numerous committees, but also to the River Heights
Community Association, Vesna Festival, Yevshan
13
Dancers, Persephone Theatre, Folkfest, All
Saint’s Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Parish
Bratsvo (Brotherhood), Mohyla Institute,
Ukrainian Canadian Business Professional
Association, and Ilarion Residence.
Dave was devoted to his family and
especially to his wife, Museum Fundraising
Campaign Chair and Board member, Sonia
(Harasym). Should we all be so blessed to
have someone love us the way Dave and
Sonia loved each other. He was blessed with
three children and four grandchildren for
whom his pride and love knew no bounds.
Dave will be dearly missed and his place in
our community never filled, but his smile and work will live on through his
generous and selfless acts. May his dear family and friends find strength and
peace in the love of each other and in the fact that many people share in your
grief. Memory Eternal. Âi÷íàÿ ïàì’ÿòü!
MEMORY ETERNAL • ÂI×ÍÀß ÏÀÌ’ßÒÜ!
In the past year, the Ukrainian Museum of Canada has lost several members. We
would like to thank their families for naming the Museum as an important part of these
person’s lives and for designating the Ukrainian Museum of Canada as a recipient of
memorial donations. We thank them for considering the Museum at this difficult time
in their family’s journey and we thank the following people for their moral and
financial contributions to the Museum during their lifetime.
May their Memories be Eternal! Âi÷íàÿ ïàì’ÿòü.
