'''St. Volodymyr's Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral''' is a [[Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada|Ukrainian Orthodox]] [[Cathedral]] in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located on Bathurst Street just to the east of Kensington Market. The majority of the first Ukrainian immigrants to Canada were Eastern Rite believers with only a small fraction belonging to the Eastern Orthodox faith. This changed with later waves of immigration that saw more people coming from the Orthodox east. The first Ukrainian Orthodox in Toronto was established in 1926. For several years they met in rented halls and in churches of other denominations. The land on Bathurst was purchased in 1935 and work on the cathedral began in 1946 and it was completed two years later. The cathedral is in the standard Byzantine style used throughout [[Ukraine]].
