Heritage

Ukrainian Folk Arts Centre, Dauphin
UFAC was incorporated with a mission to provide an environment for the awareness and preservation of Ukrainian heritage and culture through a self-sufficient community organization. In the 1980s the Museum site known as "Selo Ukrainia" was constructed 12 kms south of Dauphin along the north boundary of Riding Mountain National Park. The name "Selo Ukrainia", which means Ukrainian Village in Ukrainian, was adopted as the organization's trading name. This grant helps with the relocation and restoration of the Sandringham teacherage to create a new exhibit at the Museum site.
