want to tell you about a very special place, a
place that has stolen a part of my heart and the
heart of thousands of people throughout the years.
You might think you know all about this place
already. What is there new to say or hear? Follow
with me on this journey to the Ukrainian Museum of
Canada which is one of Canada’s foremost heritage
and cultural institutions. This building is a vibrant and
very busy place which welcomes on average 10,000
visitors each year. The Museum is recognized by the
City of Saskatoon, the Province of Saskatchewan and
the Government of Canada as an important part of
the community. Indeed, the Museum also is
internationally known and recognized. Sometimes we
take for granted that which leaves others speechless
and overwhelmed.

building is 34 years old and in need of routine
maintenance that is common for a building of this
age. A replacement of the heating and air
conditioning system is required with an estimated
cost of $100,000.00. A structural engineer recently
conducted a review and appraisal of the building and
found it to be in sound condition. Recent upgrades
have included landscaping, window photographic
light boxes and renovations to the Museum gift shop.

The Museum sits on one of the most desirable
locations in Saskatoon on the banks of the South

innovative, historical and creative ventures in many
mediums. Watching a visitor experience their first
look at Ukrainian Canadian contemporary art or
providing them the opportunity to see the insides of
the first prairie churches, before they return to dust
or are decommissioned, is a great gift. The four
diverse exhibitions presented this past year have
provided insight, inspiration and great originality.

Public Programming and Special Events
The Museum is not a static collection of “old things
and dusty stuff” - the Museum is a living, breathing,
dancing home to many wonderful events. The
Museum is a meeting place and the heart of the
community. Thousands of people leave the Museum
every year enriched for the time spent there be it after
meeting a new artist, after hearing a youth choir or
after spending time at the Museum’s Christmas
market. These are the days when the Museum sings,
when the roof is lifted in joy for the memories we
are making every time the doors open.
The Museum has published three newsletters this
past year, has joined the Facebook network and
maintains a very informative and comprehensive
website to be found at www.umc.sk.ca. The Museum
receives much attention from media throughout the
year. Newspaper and journal writers, including those
from the Saskatoon Star Phoenix, the Saskatoon
Express, Flow, Planet S, Calgary Herald, Winnipeg
Free Press and the Montreal Gazette have all featured
articles about exhibitions and Museum events. Also
Museum employees are sought out to do radio and
television interviews for local and national stations.
The Museum hosted over 300 visitors at three
artist’s receptions, a youth chamber ensemble concert
featuring Ritornello attended by 150 people, a “meet
and greet” for the Hanka Romanchych UWAC cook
book launch enjoyed by 40 people, a pancake
breakfast for Ukrainian Day in the Park for 85 people.
Even though the Ukrainian Day park events were
cancelled because of the pouring rain our breakfast
carried on! Events also included a three day open
house for the provincial government Culture Days

Approximately 1,000 participants learnt this folk art

Youth Initiatives
Perhaps one of the most important issues for the
Ukrainian Canadian community is to be relevant for
the youth of the community. How can our
programming have a wide demographic? What can
be done to have the young people in our global
community be a part of the life of the Museum?
We discuss this regularily at the Museum and
we’re doing something. We plan events for youth
with their input, which does not just involve them in
projects that we as adults have begun.
Along with continued support of organized
activities, the Museum has also introduced several of
its own initiatives specifically involving young
people. Summing up the past few years, youth
participation has included the following:
· Youth volunteers involved in the Museum
Medieval Feast as entertainers, volunteers, and
in providing catering assistance
· New website www.umc.sk.ca and Facebook
page reaches those who use this technology
daily to communicate and to be informed
· Youth participants engaged as performers,
musicians, mc’s and as volunteers to assist with
site cleanup after the Medieval Cabaret
· CYMK/Mohyla students given “behind the
scenes” tours into the Museum’s collection and
provided with discussion, juice and
refreshments on the Museum deck afterward
· Museum has given CYMK and University
Ukrainian club free access to the Museum after
hours for film nights and workshops
· At the USRL Biennial Conference held in
Saskatoon in 2005, CYMK delegates were
welcomed to the Museum for a “bear pit
discussion session” where lunch was also
shared with them picnic style on the Museum
floor.
· Young adults have been participants as
planners and models in Fashion Shows/
Luncheons
· The Museum has three employees under the
age of 25 who are being mentored in the

various areas of the Museum’s Operations
· The Museum has an active tour program for
schools and organizations
· The Museum has hosted cd launches and
concerts for young new performers
· Museum employees assist student researchers
· The Museum director works with a university
student/CYMK member in preparation of
graphic designs and promotional items for the
Museum
· A young adult Museum volunteer designed and
produced two Museum promotional videos; the
latest of which was premiered at the AGM of
the Ukrainian Museum of Canada this past
October
· The Museum was a co-sponsor of the
Ritornello Chamber Music Festival established
to promote young, up and coming classically
trained musicians and Canadian composers
· The Museum has been the recipient of student
employment grants from the Government of
Canada
· The success of these initiatives is best
exemplified in the recent $200 donation from
Senior CYMK, Saskatoon to the Museum’s Tree
of Life Fundraising Campaign. These young
adults have experienced the Museum and have
seen it as a project worthy of their hard earned
funds. We were very proud of them.
· This past summer a very young visitor was so
excited about her experience at the Museum
that she emptied her pockets and gave it to the
employees at the front desk. $1.47 is a lot of
money when you are seven years old!

Financial Situation
The Museum is in sound financial shape, however,
fundraising must be ongoing to provide operating
funds for the future. The Museum carries no mortgage
on its property and building at 910 Spadina Crescent
East in Saskatoon and no mortgage on its adjacent
property at 916 Spadina Crescent East. Current land
values in Saskatoon show these two properties at a
combined
total
value
of
approximately
$10,000,000.00. The Museum is debt free, is
operating with a balanced budget and finished its
fiscal year ending March 31, 2012 with an operating
excess of revenues over expenditures of $354,897.00.
The Foundation Fund of the Ukrainian Museum of
Canada currently is $176,000.00, reflecting an
increase of $10,000.00 over 2010.
Revenues for the fiscal year ending March 31,
2012
were
$814,342.00;
expenditures
were
$460,864.00; operating costs are approximately
$35,000.00 to $40,000.00 per month. Total grants
received from all levels of government were
approximately $40,000.00 or 8% of the Museum’s
annual operating costs.

Tree of Life Fundraising Campaign
If you are a member of the UWAC you are one of
the Museum’s owners, if you are a member of the
UMC you are a stakeholder and the Museum asks for
your support of its capital fundraising campaign
appropriately named the “Tree of Life”. It is critical
that the Museum prepares adequately for its financial
future.

members, the Museum launched a major capital

$600,000.00 in donations and bequests has been
received. Two mail campaigns occurred in 2012 and
were followed up with the popular Yalynka/Christmas

for those individuals who have recognized the
Ukrainian Museum of Canada as a beneficiary in their
estate planning. Spadshchyna Honour Roll was
unveiled at the Museum following its Annual Meeting
which was held October 27, 2012.

HISTORICAL DRESS ACQUIRED
A dress with a fascinating history was recently
donated to the Ukrainian Museum of Canada by Ann
U. Ewanchuk of North Battleford, Saskatchewan. It
is one of three identical dresses crafted and sewn in
Ukraine in 1918 by Ann’s aunt Anna Lachawicz. One
was for herself, one for Ann’s mother Erinka
Lukowich, who brought her dress to Canada when
she came in 1923, and one for her sister Mary. The
three women were the daughters of Anastazia and
Ivan Lukowich born in the village of Zerebki,
Korolewski, Powit Skalat, Ternopil, Ukraine.
Erinka was born February 4, 1904 and immigrated
to Canada to work with her Uncle Partyka Lukowich
and the Bomok family at Speers, Saskatchewan. She
married Mike Shpak in Redfield, Saskatchewan on
November 13, 1923.
Four generations of Erinka’s family wore her dress

are proving their worth in the trenches of Europe.
But on the home front, Ukrainian Canadians are
being sent to internment camps, Canada’s Gulag.

Canadian history.
They had committed the crime of being unemployed
in bad times or simply of having come from lands
ruled by the Austrian empire. They became “enemy
aliens”.
Taras Kalyna, a young man who deserted the
Austrian army to search for his lost love, Halya,
becomes one of these men. Imprisoned with hundreds
of others in Banff National Park, he helps build a
highway from Banff to Lake Louise. Conditions are

His time in camp isn’t
completely lost. He forges
strong friendships and
begins to learn about the

life of the great Ukrainian
patriot and poet, Taras
Shevchenko.
Yuri,
a
farmer,
teaches
him
optimism. And Tymko, a
fierce socialist, helps him
ask questions about his
new country.
Taras has no way of knowing when, or even if, he’ll
be free again. But even imprisoned, he never stops
thinking of Halya. Their stories develop in separate
strands until the war ends. And he’ll be free to look
for her.
“Blood and Salt” is a work of fiction, grounded in
actual details about the Banff-Castle Mountain
internment camp. It explores the search for a new life
and the search for love – all the while asking what
it is to be Ukrainian.
Barbara Sapergia is a fiction writer and
playwright living in Saskatoon. She has published
four previous books of fiction and had nine
professional play productions.

UMC Alberta Branch
CELEBRATING the UKRAINIAN
CHRISTMAS SEASON
- An Exposition
Ukrainian Christmas seasonal rituals and traditions
were featured at an exposition mounted by the
Ukrainian Museum of Canada, Alberta Branch
November 6 – 11, 2012 in Edmonton. This exhibit
showcased artifacts relating to Ukrainian cultural life
from Advent to Theophany. The objectives of the
exposition were to enlighten the general population
about Canadian multiculturalism, to present and
explain Ukrainian Canadian culture to the younger
generation, and to exhibit events and cultural
practices which contribute to the preservation and
growth of Ukrainian culture in Canada. By engaging
and involving the next generation in these cultural
traditions and rituals, the practices give vitality to the
culture and keep alive the underlying beliefs and
values associated with them.
A series of displays depicted saints and events that
fall in that period—each one telling a story, narrative
or legend which Ukrainians have adopted and carried
on through the centuries both in Ukraine and Canada,
perhaps not in their original form but in ways that
have relevance today. Beginning with a depiction of
legends associated with Saints Barbara, Nicholas,
Andrew, and Catherine, the exposition moved on to
the Nativity, highlighting prints by William Kurelek
who featured the nativity in various Canadian
contexts illustrating the universality of the birth of
Christ. A full representation of the Holy Supper was
central to the exhibition in all its detail (kolachi, the
twelve dishes, didukh, yalynka, hospodar, hospodynia,
koliadnyky, and the first star). Other displays dealt
with malanka, Saints Stephen and Basil, and the Feast
of Theophany. Each of these celebrations was
interpreted in a Ukrainian context, using Ukrainian
cultural artifacts and objects. Regardless of their
beginnings, each event has evolved over time taking
on a uniquely Ukrainian cultural expression. Traditional
material is rich and deep because it has had hundreds
of years of rehearsal. Embedded in these rituals and
traditions are reflections about the bigger issues of
life. Thus the exposition had two dimensions—the
value and belief systems underlying Ukrainian rituals
and customs and their cultural expression.
An interesting multimedia component included a
NFB documentary—“Ukrainian Winter Holidays”, a
power point presentation consisting of photos of local
Ukrainian Christmas celebrations, and a musical
cartoon “Shchedryk.” To further appeal to the younger

were students studying Ukrainian in public schools),
several interactive activities relating to the theme
were incorporated into the exposition—kolachi and
star making, a short quiz following the viewing
portion of the program, and a live fortune teller.
At the Official Opening the Right Reverend Father
Stephan Semotiuk, on behalf of the Western
Eparchy, delivered the invocation and Greetings from
the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada. Also
featured was Dr. Volodymyr Kravchenko, the newly
appointed Director of the Canadian Institute of
Ukrainian Studies. In his keynote address he
emphasized the need to incorporate historical legacies
into a modern Ukrainian national narrative. This
would involve replacing the undertone of suffering
in Ukrainian historical mythology with a more
optimistic one. Speaking for the need for different
cultural policies, Dr. Kravchenko noted that as
Canadian Ukrainians seek to preserve their identity on
tradition, Ukrainians in Ukraine should “develop their
identity based on the future vision, not on its history.”
Speaking on behalf of the Provincial Government,
Ms. Eugenia Leskiw, MLA for Bonnyville-Cold Lake,
commended the exposition for its vibrant and
colourful display of Ukrainian culture, noting that it
is “culture [which] truly connects us to one another
and our past and future.” Edmonton Mayor Stephen
Mandel paid tribute to the Ukrainian community in
Edmonton for mounting an exhibit which celebrates
its culture in such significant and impressive ways.
In keeping with the Christmas theme, the VITER
Ukrainian Folk Choir entertained the audience with
spirited renditions of Ukrainian Christmas carols.
Under the direction of Lesia Pohoreski, the choir’s
lively, energetic and rousing performance reflected
in musical terms what the exposition was about.

HAPPENINGS
It was a very busy fall and winter with the ongoing
care of artifacts – cleaning, photographing,
information gathering, data entry, and the many
administrative activities related to the Museum’s
operations. We added some interesting extras to our
work load.
PROJECT: Technical Literacy & Intergenerational
Learning for Seniors Project.
The Museum has received grants from New
Horizons for Seniors, the Shevchenko Foundation
and
the
SUS
Foundation
to
update
our
communications equipment and to hold hands-on
workshops teaching Museum volunteers, supporters
and partners, most of whom are seniors, how to use
this equipment. The first workshops were presented
in June in the Institute’s boardroom and focused on
the fundamentals of creating Power Point
presentations. Ihor Prociuk, our master instructor, and
five student coaches provided a very enjoyable and
effective learning environment.
CALENDAR 2013: We were thrilled to have our
artifacts grace the 2013
annual calendar of the
Council of Ukrainian
Credit Unions. This will
provide a unique record
of the variety and scope
of
the
Museum
collection. Each Museum
member of the Ontario
Branch will receive a
copy of the calendar as a
membership when renewing their membership for
2013. We hope that, as members are enjoying each
monthly display, they will remember that their

continued support is essential for the future of the
Ontario UMC Branch.
BLOOR WEST VILLAGE UKRAINIAN
FESTIVAL September 14 – 16, 2012.
The excitement at the annual Bloor West Village
Ukrainian Festival was evident September 14 – 16,
2012. The Museum was happy to share St. Vladimir
Institute’s big tent and offer Boutique items for sale
– gerdany, pysanky, embroidered shirts, books on
cooking, culture, and embroidery.
Our Ontario Branch was invited to share some of
their artifacts representing Bukovyna, a region from
which some of Ukraine’s first immigrants arrived in
Canada. The display featured an entire Bukovynian
family, century old sorochky (shirts and blouses)
exquisite examples of woven namitky (headcloths),
pysanky, a bridal headdress and jewelry, as well as
winter outwear. Judging from the visitor’s reaction the
Bukovyna Pavillion was very well received.
FABRIC OF LIFE EXHIBIT: For the aficionados
and admirers of embroidery skills, our exhibit ‘Fabric
of Life’ - Everything old is new again – “Âñÿêå íîâå,
öå çàáóòå ñòàðå” continued into January 2013.
Visitors have returned to the exhibit, taking time to
re-examine items from the late 19 th and early 20 th
century, made during a time of individual needle
skills and awareness of tradition. This is an exhibition
not to be missed.

SPADSHCHYNA HONOUR ROLL
As an initiative of the Tree of Life Fundraising
Campaign, the Ukrainian Museum of Canada
introduced a very special honour roll that will be
bestowed upon individuals who make a legacy gift
or bequest to the Ukrainian Museum of Canada.
People have been leaving bequests for decades. This
is our special way of honouring these people.
Individuals will be recognized at a special event
to be held annually. If you have already done some
estate planning and would like to be a part of this
exclusive group and be named on the Spadshchyna
(Legacy) Honour Roll please get in touch us.
On October 27, 2012, in conjunction with the
Annual Meeting of the Ukrainian Museum of Canada
of the Ukrainian Women’s Association of Canada, the
first of the Spadshchyna pins were presented to 26
people who had given notice that they have named
the UMC in their wills. The next Museum Newsletter
will feature more details about this Honour Roll and
the presentations.

YOU CAN LEAVE A LEGACY
Have you ever considered 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.
To receive more information, please contact your personal financial advisor, lawyer, or call the Museum at 306-244-3800 to
