Sterling (Slavco) Demchinsky gave a colourful presentation to the UGG-NCR group on pioneer churches built by settlers from the Bukovyna region of the Ukrainian homelands.

Using photos of iconography and architecture gathered in Ukraine combined with his first-hand observations from a recent trip to Ukraine, Demchinsky demonstrated the degree of success that the early immigrants had in transplanting their centuries-old traditions in the unforgiving landscape of the Canadian prairies. The emphasis of the discussion was on those architectural and artistic characteristics that were particular to the Bukovyna region.
