On July 7, 2021 one of the oldest Polish-Canadian Organizations in the Windsor-Essex area – Polish Social Club of Windsor – Polski Klub Towarzyski (PKT) celebrated its 70-th Anniversary. The Organization was established by Polish Veterans of World War II who emigrated to Canada after the end of the war.The Club has been actively promoting Polish culture and heritage in Canada since 1951. The Polish-Canadian community of Windsor-Essex recognizes and appreciates the contributions and the achievements of the past and present Members of the Club and its Leaders. We are thankful for their dedication to preserving Polish culture, language and heritage. Over the years Club organized countless unforgettable social and cultural events – such as performances, historical lectures, exhibitions and famous theme balls. The Club also supported many charities financially in Canada and in Poland. We are especially grateful for the Clubs’ commitment in protecting historical truth, in particular – for presenting the role of the Polish Army in the World War II victory, a fact almost forgotten now.
Congratulations on this Milestone Anniversary – “100 LAT!” – and many more years to come!
