September is Ukrainian Heritage Month


And, this week we also celebrate Culture Days in Saskatchewan!

On September 7th, 1891 the first Ukrainian immigrants arrived in Canada. These early settlers laid the foundation for Ukrainian life in Canada.

In 2025 the Government of Saskatchewan recognized this occasion, declaring that the citizens of the Province to also recognize this month as “Ukrainian Heritage Month”

This week Saskatchewan also celebrates Culture Days!

Ukrainians have a long and colourful history which impacted the lives of our early settlers who were one of the founding peoples of the Saskatchewan prairies. We celebrate our birthplace, traditions, practices and beliefs.

Shown is part of our prairie life display. Our early immigrants came from an agricultural lifestyle and developed their farmland as they knew how. They had to adapt to the new harsh and unfamiliar surroundings, making their own tools and implements as they used in Ukraine.

Join MUM as we strive to preserve our rich traditions, stories and spirit. Ukrainian culture lives on - not just as a memory; Ukrainian heritage lives on through art, education, language and tradition.

We especially recognize the importance of preserving and sharing Ukrainian culture during this time of displacement and the unprovoked invasion by russia attempting to destroy Ukrainian identity and culture.

Visit MUM to discover (or rediscover) where your roots are.
Reflect on your shared heritage. YOU belong!
