Historic Sites of Manitoba: Ukrainian Peoples Home (Sandy Lake, Municipality of Harrison Park)

This wood frame building in Sandy Lake, in the Municipality of Harrison Park, was built in 1920 by a group of local residents as a facility for secular social and educational events. Taken over by the Ukrainian Orthodoc church in the 1940s, it was used as a parish hall. At present, it is privately owned and no longer used as a hall.
