Ukrainian Labour Temple at 203 Ogden Street Remembered
The Ukrainian Labour-Farmer Temple Association built the Ogden Street site in 1928 and used it as a cultural hub. It hosted poetry and dance, welcomed all, and hosted left wing speakers like James Endicott and Tim Buck. May Day parades drew thousands, including a 3,000 plus Lakehead event in 1938.

May Day and War Efforts Across Fort William Port Arthur
The 1939 May Day parade connected Fort William and Port Arthur with 11 street cars and speakers from city councils and the Communist and CCF parties urging better labor union organization for workers. Unemployment relief protests in Fort William included a May 2 demonstration at City Hall and a Labour Temple meeting with Mayor C M Ross. As WWII neared, Ukrainian Canadians aided the war effort with care packages and Red Cross fundraisers, culminating in the October 28 1945 victory bond sale and a Winnipeg Ukrainian Word editor’s remarks on unity under a Ukrainian government in San Francisco.
