The Ukrainian National Federation of Canada created Oseredok, the Ukrainian Cultural and Educational Centre, in 1944. The Centre houses a museum, archives, library and art gallery. The building, a municipally-designated historic site, is formerly known as the British and Foreign Bible Society Building. It was designed by Winnipeg architect William Bruce and built in 1912.
In 2019, the facility received a Shevchenko Medal from the Ukrainian Canadian Congress.
