FRIENDS OF THE UKRAINIAN VILLAGE SOCIETY

Founded in 1984, our registered charity supports the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village (UCHV) in realizing its full potential as a world-renowned living history museum. We are dedicated to providing strong and visionary leadership in preserving Ukrainian-Canadian history and heritage so that present and future generations can enjoy and understand an authentic pioneer experience.

We support the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village through fundraising, owning the Silska Domiwka (Red Barn Hospitality Center), and operating visitor programs and services that include the Historical Children's Program Summer Day Camp, food concession and banquets, museum giftshop, vendor market, and employment of seasonal interpretation staff. Like many other non-profit groups, we are a community-based organization that is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. Our dedicated group ensures that staff is provided with the direction to successfully lead the society. We are very proud of the programs and services that we provide at the Ukrainian Village and are essential to bringing both the historic and non-historic areas to life.
