The Ukrainian Labour Temple in the North End of Winnipeg in 2017 Stone relief with inscription Workers of the world, unite

The Ukrainian Labour Temple is a hall and cultural centre in the north end of Winnipeg, Manitoba. It is run by the Association of United Ukrainian Canadians and is located at 591 Pritchard Avenue.[1]

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]
