St Nicholas Church was founded by immigrants from the Brody area in Galicia. Like most Rusins/Western Ukrainians, these pioneers had been Greek Catholic in their homeland, which at that time belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Upon their arrival in Canada, the people reunited with the Orthodox Church of their forebearers, becoming a part of the Russian Orthodox Mission. They are now an integral part of the Archdiocese of Canada and of the Orthodox Church in America. Worship is celebrated entirely in English, and the chants and liturgical customs are those of western Ukrainian Orthodoxy.
