Comments

ϴ - Sherritt Mint

The town of Vegreville, Alberta is well-known for its Ukrainian heritage, as approximately 41% of its citizens can claim Ukrainian descent. Naturally, a giant metal pysanka (traditional Ukrainian painted Easter egg) was built in the town in 1974 - the first structure in the world designed entirely by computer, the world's largest egg, and so on. The attraction is one of the largest tourist stops along Western Canada's Yellowhead Highway and graces the obverse of every Vegreville souvenir dollar.
