Welcome to the Town of Mundare

THE TOWN OF MUNDARE is located at the juction of Highway 16, 15 and the 855. This growing community is boasting a beautiful newly revitalized main street. This really shows off the numerous amenities it has. Mundare, known for its hospitality, is truly a wonderful place to spend quality time.

The small town with a big heart has an increase of population in 2009 to 823; this is an increase of 15% from 2006.

Mundare is proud to be the home of the Basilian Fathers Museum, established in the 1950's. It is a world class facility of very unique design and an intriguing collection of artifacts that attracts over 5,000 visitors annually.

To commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the Basilian Fathers' arrival in Canada, a permanent exhibit - Service in the Vineyard of the Lord - was prepared. It celebrates the lives of dedicated men and women who served the Lord by serving the Ukrainian people in Canada. It tells the stories of the monks, priests, bishops and nuns who devoted their lives to this service. The exhibit outlines the history of the Basilian Order and traces the development of the Ukrainian Catholic Church in Canada from 1902 to the present time.

Right next to the museum is the Ukraina Park Recreation Area, a fully serviced campsite and recreation area. The Park provides wooded sites, shower facilities, a public telephone, picnic shelter and large fire pits. Perfect for any overnight stay!

The hard work of Mundare’s volunteers led to the 2003 win in the National Communities in Bloom competition. During the Christmas season bus loads of visitors come to view the holiday and religious displays. Communities in Bloom and the Mundare Library sponsor the annual Christmas Parade and Christmas Craft Sale on the second Saturday in December.

Mundare is famous for its Ukrainian Sausage. Stawnichy's Meat Processing has earned the reputation of having some of the best Ukrainian sausage in Canada. This family business has prospered for over 45 years. Visitors can request a tour of the facility Tuesday through Thursday. The Stawnichy family set up a non-profit foundation that completed a 42 ft. high replica sausage and tourism rest area. The 6 ton sausage is the only one of its kind in the world and is literally sculpted into Mundare's town landscape overlooking Main Street.

Another exciting venture is Whitetail Crossing Championship Golf Course & Residential Development now open south of the Town.
