"For nearly 50 years, The Ukrainian Youth Unity Complex has been a mainstay in the vibrant Ukrainian community of Edmonton and is home to numerous organizations including a youth group, a performance song/dance group, a dance school, a seniors association and community action groups. Our facility is approaching 50 years old and although well maintained, the inevitable major repairs have become an increased challenge to sustaining the facility.
