Our History
Canada’s National Ukrainian Festival in Dauphin originated at a meeting of the Dauphin Chamber of Commerce and from there a founding group was established in 1965. Board members were given a box of letterheads and five dollars worth of stamps to start. A constitution was drawn up and general guidelines were set forth. One important guideline was that the festival should reflect Ukrainian culture as it is in Canada, thus making the festival a national Ukrainian Canadian event.
