Winnipeg’s Ukrainian community is at a loss after a theft of an important item from their community’s building.

The Ukrainian Labour Temple (ULT) posted online that the building’s plaque was stolen from outside its building.

The building was awarded as a heritage destination in 2009, according to Emily Halldorson, Vice President of the Association of the United Ukrainian Canadian Winnipeg Branch of the Ukrainian Labour Temple.
