Kalyna Country, Ecomuseum in Central Alberta, Canada

Kalyna Country extends over 20,000 square kilometers of land where the Aspen Parkland meets the Boreal Forest along the North Saskatchewan River Valley.

This region formed the largest Ukrainian settlement outside Eastern Europe, centered around the Edna-Star colony established by early Canadian immigrants.

The area derives its name from the highbush cranberry plant, known as Kalyna in Ukrainian, which stands as a symbol of Ukrainian heritage.

Visitors can explore the region through self-directed driving tours that connect various historical sites, museums, and natural landmarks throughout Central Alberta.

The territory contains the North America's Church Capital in Lamont County, with nearly 40 historical churches in a small geographical area.
