The Ukrainian labour temple is one of the few left in a once large network of such halls and is one of the largest and oldest of its kind. The building was constructed from 1918 to 19 using volunteer labour. [1] The building was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 2009. [2] Revonations to the building were undertaken in 2021 to improve accessibility and to restore the windows to their original appearance. [3]
The unity of working people is symbolized over the entrance by a carved stone relief of two clasped hands reaching across the globe, underscored with a ribbon with lettering that reads Workers of the World, Unite . [1]
The building hosts Ivan Franko Museum. [4]
