Memorial Park – Selo Ukraina pays tribute to Ukrainian Canadians who fought for Canada in the last centenary at the Memorial Park.  The Tomb of the Ukrainian Soldier commemorates the 100^th Anniversary of the first arrival of Ukrainian pioneers in Canada, the Filip Konowal Victoria Cross monument acknowledges receipt of Canada’s highest honour for valour in combat.  The site also recognizes the 80^th anniversary of the end of Canada’s first national internment operations and there is a dedication to the memory of victims of the genocidal Ukraine Great Famine of 1932 to 1933. 

Ukrainian Heritage Village – This living museum depicts a pioneer crossroads settlement of the prairies between 1896 and 1925.  The village consists of 3 pioneer homes, several farm buildings, a church, prairie school, antique farm equipment, artefacts, document and a shoe shop.  Rhodes Hall, also on-site, is the home to the Ukrainian Musicians Hall of Fame.

Ukrainian Musicians Hall of Fame – Opened in May 2010, the Ukrainian Musicians Hall of Fame has found a home in Rhodes Hall in the Heritage Village at Selo Ukraina.  Celebrating Ukrainian musicians locally and across Canada, a stroll through the displays will take you back in time and bring a whole new appreciation for the music and the artists who create it.

Selo Ukrainia is open by appointment or during Canada’s National Ukrainian Festival.
