The Ukrainian Settlers of Canada. The first block Ukrainian settlement in Saskatchewan was established in 1897 when 180 families arrived in the Canora District from Western Ukraine. Ottawa specified that earlier Ukrainian immigrants first settled in Alberta and Manitoba. Canora became a center where the Ukrainian culture and language are still kept alive as a Ukrainian town. The distinctive domes on many churches in the area are a lasting feature of this settlement.
