A yummy week ahead...

A short drive east from Edmonton leads to a truly iconic Alberta landmark: Mundare’s giant Ukrainian sausage.

 

Standing an impressive 42 feet tall, the statue is a towering tribute to Stawnichy's Meat Processing, the local family business that has made Mundare sausage famous since 1959.

 

Started by Woytko and Anne Stawnichy, the business is now a fourth-generation institution.

 

But the monument represents more than just a beloved local product.

 

It celebrates the rich legacy of Ukrainian pioneers who settled Central Alberta in the late 1890s.

 

Nearby attractions like the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village offer a deeper look into this vibrant history.

 

For many Edmontonians, a trip to Mundare is a journey into the heart of local heritage, community pride, and of course, delicious, authentic food.
