Polonez Tri-City Polish Association extends a heartfelt thank-you to all who made the Polish Culture & Heritage Day celebration possible.
We are very grateful to the Polish Consulate in Vancouver and the City of Port Coquitlam for their patronage & continuous support. We thank father Jan Staszel, together with the Knights of Columbus, for their help and support. We also thank the Polish Fishing & Hunting Club “Hubertus”, Barka Canada and the Polish Canadian Women’s Federation for their help. We thank our generous sponsors, artists, young MCs and all the volunteers. We are grateful for the work of children who participated in the contest “Poland – my heritage” and to their parents for their encouragement. We thank all the artists, crafters, organizations & vendors who participated in our marketplace.
We thank all of you who came to take part in our beautiful celebration of Polish Culture.
With your consistent support & enthusiasm we were able to provide the community with another day of beauty, culture & fun.
Thank you again & till the next time,
