The Vegreville egg is a giant sculpture of a pysanka, a Ukrainian-style Easter egg. The work by Paul Maxum Sembaliuk is built of an intricate set of two-dimensional anodized aluminum tiles in the shape of congruent equilateral triangles and star-shaped hexagons, fashioned over an aluminum framework. The egg is 31 ft (9 m) long and three and a half stories high, weighing in at 2.5 t (5,512 lb). It is the second largest pysanka in the world. The biggest one was built in Kolomyia, Ukraine in 2000.

The sculpture was commissioned by the town of Vegreville, in the Canadian province of Alberta noted for its high Ukrainian Canadian population. In order to obtain funding for it, the town applied for a federal government grant and was eventually able to obtain some funding, but only if the sculpture was dedicated to the 1975 centennial of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Vegreville received a grant to construct the egg, a nod at Ukrainian culture in Canada, and specifically at early Ukrainian settlements east of Edmonton, Alberta.

"Very convenient location and great pool"

"We stayed here for a week with a group of friends and enjoyed our stay! We liked that there’s a bar with pool tables in the hotel and a restaurant attached! There could be a few renovations inside and the driveway definitely needs fixing but I would say good for the price."

"Clean room, comfortable bed."

Vegreville Garden Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The Garden Inn is quaint, a little old but clean and comfortable. The room was spacious with 2 comfy chairs and a side table for relaxing and snacking. The fridge worked well as did the tv. Our only criticisms are the parking lot was in dire need of repairs and that the mattress needs to be replaced as it sagged to the middle a bit. Otherwise, we had a great overnight stay "
