Annual Fundraising Dinner

The Canadian Polish Congress - Annual Fundraising Dinner, will be held at the John Paul II Polish Cultural Centre in Mississauga on Thursday, August 7th, 2008 at 6:30 p.m.

Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Citizenship and Immigration will be the keynote speaker.

Tickets can be purchased for 5/person. Corporate tables are available for ,500/table. Corporate sponsors will be acknowledged in the Fundraiser’s Program.

The Congress has served the Canadian Polish community for the past 75 years, during which time it has been actively engaged in public policy issues that have concerned the Canadian-Polish community, as well as promoted Polish heritage, culture, language and history across Canada.

Representing over 260 Polish organizations, the Canadian Polish Congress has played an immense role in endorsing the interests of Polonia. Recent initiatives have included: easing the process of pension qualifications for people who have lived in both Canada and Poland, increasing youth mobility between Canada and Poland, establishing the Polish Heritage Project to increase awareness of the influence of Polonia on Canada’s development, and most recently, removing the Visa requirements for Polish citizens visiting Canada.

In order to continue to exceptionally voice and act on the interests of Canada’s Polonia, sustaining and upgrading our head office is essential. All funds raised will help the Congress provide and maintain operational services that play a crucial role in the success of Polonia-related political and cultural pursuits.

If you are interested in purchasing tickets, please contact the Canadian Polish Congress Head Office by telephone at 416-532-2876 or by e-mail at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
