Historic Sites of Manitoba: Tin Can Cathedral (Dufferin Avenue, Winnipeg)
Built around 1904 along Dufferin Avenue in Winnipeg, under the authority of Bishop Seraphim, this haphazard-looking building was the first independent Ukrainian church in North America. It was later destroyed by vandals. It was the setting for the 2011 play Tin Can Cathedral by playwright Nick Mitchell.
