The parish of St. Volodymyr was formed in 1935 and 1936 joined the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada. The very first church service in the newly-built church took place on Easter in 1946 and since then has continued to run services and be a place for people to gather as a community to practice and connect with their religion.

Tunnel Island Trail (Wass’say’Gaa’Boo) is located at a traditional gathering place with 8000 years of history. The trail offers a lesson in history, great scenery, and a chance to see local wildlife. Walk along the Winnipeg River and take a look at the Norman Dam. The trail is pet-friendly and the dogs are sure to enjoy a dip in the lake to cool off. There are many trails and loops to choose from. You can hike these trails year-round, but be aware that in the winter there are some slippery slopes. Terrain is moderate to high.

The Hallet is a 60 foot, 57 ton boat and was known as the largest, most powerful logging boat on Rainy Lake. The Hallet was used extensively in hauling logs. During an average year, the Tugboat made twenty round trips one hundred miles each, hauling 70,000 to 90,000 cords of wood a year, until 1974. The Hallet was then transported in portions by railway flatcar and reconstructed for the Pulp and Paper Mill in Fort Frances in 1983. Restoration was later completed by the Fort Frances Museum and Tugboat Hallet can now be viewed beside the Sorting Gap Marina on Front Street.
