The original church was built in 1904. In 1907, a small 18-inch bell was imported from Chernivtsi, Bukovyna. Fire claimed the original church in 1944 but the belfry and Bukovyna bell were saved and are still in use today. In 1945, the current 1,100 square foot facility was erected at a cost of $5,000 with most of the labour provided free of charge.

There is some online information from CanadaGenWeb's Cemetery Project, available here: Gonor St Nicholas Ukrainian Orthodox (Bukovynian) Cemetery.
