Vegreville

Travel Guide

The Vegreville egg is a giant sculpture of a pysanka, a Ukrainian-style Easter egg. The work by Paul Maxum Sembaliuk is built of an intricate set of two-dimensional anodized aluminum tiles in the shape of congruent equilateral triangles and star-shaped hexagons, fashioned over an aluminum framework. The egg is 31 ft (9 m) long and three and a half stories high, weighing in at 2.5 t (5,512 lb). It is the second largest pysanka in the world. The biggest one was built in Kolomyia, Ukraine in 2000. The sculpture was commissioned by the town of Vegreville, in the Canadian province of Alberta noted for its high Ukrainian Canadian population. In order to obtain funding for it, the town applied for a federal government grant and was eventually able to obtain some funding, but only if the sculpture was dedicated to the 1975 centennial of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Vegreville received a grant to construct the egg, a nod at Ukrainian culture in Canada, and specifically at early Ukrainian settlements east of Edmonton, Alberta. #LikeALocal #TroveOnTuesday #Culture Photo Contest

The hotel was very good value for the price. Friendly, helpful reception, room was neat and tidy. It is an older hotel, it shows its age. Great choice if you want an inexpensive, clean room with friendly staff

Place was great would definitely recommend. Hot tub is nice but they don’t allow you to bring drink and have signs that make you feel a little uncomfortable up there. Room was great; staff was great.
