ST. MICHAEL'S UKRAINIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH Constructed in 1899, this church is a fine early example of Ukrainian ecclesiastical architecture in Canada. Its distinctive massing, plan and bulbous cupolas reflect the Byzantine-influenced architectural heritage of the homeland of the settlers in the region. The traditional free-standing bell tower was built in 1906, and like the church, is distinguished by the high quality of its wooden craftsmanship. Built by the first generation of Ukrainians to arrive in Canada, St. Michael's served as an affirmation of their cultural identity and remains today as Canada's oldest existing Ukrainian church.

L'ÉGLISE UKRAINIENNE ORTHODOXE ST. MICHAEL'S Construite en 1899, cette église offre un bel exemple des premiers monuments de l'architecture ecclésiastique ukrainienne au Canada. Sa volumétrie particulière, son plan et ses coupoles en forme de bulbe reflètent l'influence byzantine si forte dans le pays natal des pionniers de cette région. Le traditionnel clocher détaché a été érigé en 1906. Comme l'église, il se distingue par la qualité du bois ouvragé. Oeuvre de la première génération d'Ukrainiens venus au Canada, St. Michael's servit à affirmer leur identité culturelle. Il s'agit de la plus vieille église ukrainienne qui subsiste au Canada.
