A very successful Polish Cultural Day in Port Coquitlam. This well known initiative by Tir-City Polonez Polish Association, as every year, this time was no difference, a great start to the summer and barbaque activities.
The weather, the visitors, the artists and tables presenting exhibitions and activities - all worked out great and everyone could find many things to do, meet with friends and taste polish food.
Polish Cultural Day is very much appreciated by all Polish Canadians in Vancouver and Tri-City areas, as well as local community. The day is a traditional celebration of everything connected to Poland and our culture, the time to appreciatae our heritage and country of origin. This year the Polish city of Wroclaw which also is named the European Capital 2016 was introduced and promoted during the event with many displays and contests.
