Creating Kashubia – as presented by Joshua C. Blank
A gathering of over 50 people were in attendance on the evening of August 23, 2016 at the Opeongo Seniors’ Centre to hear Josh Blank speak about his recently published book, “Creating Kashubia – History, Memory, and Identity in Canada’s First Polish Communituy.” The evening was co-sponsored by the Madawaska Valley Public Library (MVPL) and the Wilno Heritage Society (WHS). Sean Conway, a former local M.P.P. and Minister of Education, aptly handled the role of moderator. In introducing the evening, Sean acknowledged the presence of Kim Love, Mayor of MV Township, and Teresa Berezowski, President of the Canadian Polish Congress (CPC), who travelled from Toronto to hear Josh speak. The CPC is a national organization, an umbrella so to speak, which represents many smaller Polish groups, such as the Wilno Heritage Society, the Polish Heritage Institute Kaszuby, the Polish Scout Movement, etc. as a united front.
