In 2021, the Legislative Assembly of Alberta declared the second Sunday in June each year as <b>Polish Canadian Heritage Day in Alberta <\/b>to acknowledge \u201cthe impact and contributions that the Polish community has had on Alberta\u201d.<br>The Calgary marking of this day begins with an annual Polish Flag raising ceremony held outdoors at the Province of Alberta McDougall Centre (455 6th Street) on the morning of <b>Sunday June 8, 20025 <\/b>at <b>10:30 am<\/b>. To continue the celebrations, from<b> 11:00 am to 6:30 pm<\/b>, Calgary\u2019s Polish Canadian community is organizing a full day Open House at the <b>Polish Canadian Cultural Centre (the \u201cCentre)<\/b>. All Calgarians are welcome as we present Calgary\u2019s Polish Canadian community as an active, energetic, creative and thriving part of the city.<br><div class=\"more-text\" style=\"display: none\"><br>There will be too much happening to describe in detail, but a short summary of activities includes:<br>The Centre\u2019s Main Hall (with the largest hardwood dance floor in Calgary) will be full of the fragrances of delicious<br>Polish cuisine. We recommend that you not limit yourself to only smelling these Polish culinary delicacies but tasting them as well. The Main Hall will also host song and dance performances, highlighted by Calgary\u2019s Polish folk-dance groups whose members range in age from 5 to 85. We will also have a Folk Fashion Show where our young people will show off some of the finest Polish folk costumes ever sewn. Events in the Main Hall end on a musical \u201crock blues\u201d note with a performance by The Andrzej Ryszka Band, a big hit from last year\u2019s event.<br>For one day, the Centre\u2019s Varsovia Room will be converted into the \u201cFusion Gallery\u201d with an exhibition titled Art Music Memory Wine presenting the diverse talents of some of Alberta\u2019s finest artists and musicians. Be prepared for piano, violin, and song recitals as well as works encompassing such art forms as silkscreen, ceramic, crochet, embroidery, painting and photography (nature and night). Author Paul Wojak will talk about memory and preserving Polish identity presenting \u201cEscape from Siberia, Escape from Memory &#8211; An Odyssey Across Two Oceans &amp; Nine Countries to Arrive Home\u201d, a labour of emotional and intellectual love uncovering the 20th century story of his father\u2019s life.<br>The Combatants\u2019 Room, named in honour of our Polish Veterans, will host a series of exhibitions including \u201cPolish Treasures in our Calgary Homes\u201d showcasing a collection of fascinating objects originally from Poland that, like their owners, have now found a home in Calgary. We will also have a poster exhibit of \u201cMemorable Polish Albertans\u201d, a display of colorful Polish photo albums well as what may be the largest map of Poland ever seen in Calgary.&nbsp;<br>Polish Canadian Heritage Day will be an immersion in Polish culture and an excellent way to learn about your Polish neighbours. If you have a family connection to Poland, it will be a way to learn more about your Polish roots.<br>Come celebrate Polish Canadian Heritage Day in Alberta with us. ZAPRASZAMY!
