A two-storey brick building on Scotia Street in Winnipeg was built in 1930 by local contractor Joseph Albert Tremblay, at a cost of about $40,000, as a Chancery for the Ukrainian Catholic Archbishop.
In 1967, the St. Volodymyr Museum was established as a project of the Ukrainian Catholic Women’s League of Canada to commemorate the Canadian centenary that year. Located originally at 418 Aberdeen Avenue, it was moved in 1985 and again in 1998, the latter time to the newly renovated Chancery.
The artifact collection, including liturgical items, portrays the Ukrainian Catholic experience in Manitoba. Of special note is the story of Canada’s first Ukrainian Catholic pastoral leader, Blessed Bishop and Martyr Nykyta Budka. Museum tours are offered by appointment.
