Vorokhta, Chemin
Contenu
This road name is traditional. Ivan and Stefania Telishewski came to Canada from Ukraine in 1954, later settling in Vale Perkins. Mr. Telishewski's birthplace was Vorokhta in the Ukraine's Carpathian Mountains (Ukrainian: Ð’OPOXTA). Perhaps he called his farm Vorokhta for sentimental reasons.
This short road leads through what appears to be the farm's dooryard, but it leads to private cottages beyond the main house.

Nommé ainsi par Yvan et Stefana Telishewski, ukrainiens d’origine, qui se sont établis à Potton en 1954. Cet endroit leur rappelait le village de Vorokhta dans les Monts Carpathes en Ukraine.[1]
It is located at height of 850 meters above sea level, along the Prut river, most high-mountainous river of Carpathians. The name occurs from Michael Vorohta's surname, talented weaver, the glory about which has quickly missed on the district. Michael Vorohty's weaver talent has served as the reason of glory of new settlement and has given it the name Vorohta. Village has received this name finally in 1598. In the summer of 1884 to village has been laid the railway. Since then Votokhta is known as a resort.[2]
