In the Spring I visited Alberta Legislature Grounds. There are some many monuments and I chose this one for today.
I find this description on the internet:
This monument commemorates the arrival in 1891 of the first Ukrainian settlers in Canada. It pays tribute to the stalwart sons and daughters of the soil who, through patient industry and steadfast courage, overcame physical hardships and adversity to transform the vastness of the prairie into productive farmland. In helping to unleash the economic potential of the Canadian west, Ukrainian pioneers not only contributed to the subsequent founding of the province of Alberta but bequeathed a proud legacy to them perseverance and self-sacrifice are an inspiration and a challenge to us all.
Tomorrow I'll show you a couple of photos from this side. Stay tuned.
