heritage attractions Trembowla Cross of Freedom Trembowla Cross of Freedom Historical Site & Museum (National Heritage Site, Provincial Heritage Site) This historical site and museum honours the first Ukrainian Catholic Liturgy celebrated in Canada in 1897. Nearby, on a bend in the Drifting River, stands the provincially designated St. Michael’s Ukrainian Catholic Church (c. 1898) preserved as the first Ukrainian Catholic Church in Canada. Other historic buildings include a grotto, monuments, pioneer home and school displaying artefacts from an early Ukrainian settlement. Originally a wooden cross was built at the site to commemorate the pioneer’s freedom in a new land. Following research by a historian, the history of the first Cross of Freedom in Canada became known and a permanent granite cross was unveiled in 1966. Tours are welcome.

As Dauphin’s Ukrainian population grew the need for a larger church where worshippers could congregate arose. So it was that the Historic Ukrainian Catholic Church of the Resurrection was designed by Father Philip Ruh, and built by a dedicated group of volunteers between 1936 and 1939. Men, women and children gladly contributed money and time to construct the beautiful church. They hauled gravel and wood, mixed cement, did carpentry and masonry. The women would also prepare hot lunches for the workers and organized fundraising events such as bazaars, picnics and box socials. The magnificent painting of the church interior was not done until 1957 by a man named Theodore Baran. The iconographer from Saskatoon hand painted the entire church interior. In 1990 when the Ukrainian Catholic Church’s congregation was it its largest the parish decided to undertake construction of a new church. The majority of the parishioners had wished to tear down the current church but a small group of committed volunteers stood up for the church they knew would one day become an important part of their history. After they had voiced their concerns, land just across the street was chosen instead for the new church. This National and Provincial heritage site stands today only because of the devotion of its volunteers. Architectural Walking Tour Want to know more about Dauphin’s history and its structures?

Legend Has It… The Angel near Sifton Danylshen, the only son of the Luchuk family, had bought land in the Sifton area in the early 1900’s. Shortly thereafter, Anna, a young school teacher from Italy moved to the area. They fell in love and were married. The following July, Luchuk’s true love and their unborn child died during child birth. To honor her, he had a marble angel (as pictured above) sent from Italy to be set on her grave. Times were tight during the period and when the angel arrived he did not have enough money to pay for it. However, because of the weight of the angel, it was easier for the shipping company to leave the angel behind rather than send it back to Italy. To this day, many orange lilies grow wild around the angel and every July a single white lily appears on her grave. It is believed that it is put there by her loving husband.

Russian Orthodox Church of North America sifton Mary Maxim Company The famous Mary Maxim Company, known for its unique sweater designs, had its beginning in Sifton around 1935 when a young CNR station master named Willard McPhedrain founded the company. By 1955 Mary Maxim had grown immensely and the business moved its operations to 2nd Ave N.E. in Dauphin where it continued to employ many people from all over the region. In 1959, the company once again expanded and moved to Paris, Ontario, where it still exists today. The Mary Maxim products are presently sold in almost every country in the world and this well-known business’ success all originated from its humble beginnings in Sifton.
