St. Volodymyr Ukrainian Cemetery

St. Volodymyr Ukrainian Cemetery, cemetery in Oakville, Ontario

St. Volodymyr Ukrainian Cemetery is a burial ground in Oakville, Ontario, established in 1984 and operated by St. Volodymyr Cathedral in Toronto. It offers in-ground burial and burial vaults in perpetuity and is open to all Christian faiths. Its grounds hold the Monument to the Glory of the UPA, erected on 26 May 1988, and a cenotaph that displayed the emblem of the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS until its removal in February 2024. Among the burials is Vasyl Iwanys (1888–1974), the last chairman of the Kuban Rada, whose polished grey granite cross bears a trident in a circular relief and a carved sword across its base.

The cemetery was founded in 1984 to serve the Ukrainian community in the area. It has expanded over the decades and reflects the long-standing presence of Ukrainians in the region.

The cemetery belongs to St. Volodymyr Cathedral in Toronto and is open to all Christians. Its monuments include a memorial to the Ukrainian Insurgent Army erected on 26 May 1988, and a cenotaph bearing the emblem of the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Galician), inscribed "To Those Who Died For the Freedom of Ukraine"; the cenotaph was removed in February 2024. The grave of Vasyl Iwanys, last chairman of the Kuban Rada, is marked by a granite cross with a trident relief and a carved sword.

The cemetery is open from early morning until dusk, allowing visitors flexible access to the grounds. The layout is easy to navigate with paved paths and clearly marked sections, while the reception center provides guidance on planning and practical arrangements.

The cemetery is marketed as West Oak Memorial Gardens, a name used alongside St. Volodymyr Ukrainian Cemetery. It offers in-ground burial and burial vaults in perpetuity and is open to all Christian denominations, not only Ukrainian Orthodox families. Among the graves is that of Vasyl Iwanys (1888–1974), the last chairman of the Kuban Rada, whose polished grey granite cross carries a trident emblem and a carved sword.
