🇵🇱 🤝 🇨🇦 Share this post with a young Polish Canadian who is ready to LEAD.

Applications are officially open for the 4th edition of the Young Polonia Leadership Summit, taking place October 29 and 30 in Ottawa.

Since its founding, YPLS has brought together young Polish Canadians from across the country to connect with peers who share their heritage to work together to shape the future of Polonia in Canada. This year's summit continues that tradition, offering two days of workshops, meaningful discussion in the nation's capital and networking with youth from coast to coast.

The Canadian Polish Congress believes the future of our community rests in the hands of nurturing and lifting up young leaders. Every application is a step toward strengthening that future, and every participant becomes part of a growing network of YPLS alum who carries Polish heritage forward while building a life here in Canada.

We encourage young Polish Canadians to apply now and claim their place at this year's summit. Spots are limited, and the opportunity to learn, connect, and lead does not come around often.

Apply today at https://youngpoloniasummit.ca/

🇵🇱🇨🇦 Every family has a story. What's yours?

Some of us came to Nova Scotia from Poland just a few years ago. Some of us grew up hearing our parents' or grandparents' stories — about the journey, the first winter, the first job, the letters sent home, the recipes and traditions that crossed the ocean with them.

This September, for Polish Heritage Month, we're bringing these stories together in a small community exhibition:

📍 Halifax Central Library
🗓️ Wednesday, September 23

We want all of them. The hardest ones — the deportations to Siberia, the years in the camps, a childhood spent in transit, a family that could never go back. And the quiet ones — a young couple with two suitcases, a first apartment, a job that wasn't the one they trained for. Both belong on the same wall!

And it doesn't have to be your own story. It might be your neighbour's. Your grandmother's. A man from our parish who died years ago and whose photographs are still in someone's drawer.

Tell us about the people who built this community — many of them are no longer here to speak for themselves, but we can still speak about them.

We're looking for:
📷 photographs, old or recent (scans or originals for the exhibition— everything returned with care)
✉️ letters, documents, keepsakes
📝 written memories — a single paragraph is enough
🗣️ or simply your voice — if you'd rather tell your story than write it, we'll happily sit down with you over coffee and record it together

If we gather enough photographs, we'll bring them to life on the big screen during the evening.

💌 To take part, send us a message, or email to [email protected], by August 31.

And whether or not you have something to share — save the date. Everyone is welcome on September 23.

Please share this post — you might know exactly the person whose story we're waiting for. ❤️

🇵🇱🇨🇦 Każda rodzina ma swoją historię. Jaka jest Wasza?

Niektórzy z nas przyjechali do Nowej Szkocji z Polski zaledwie kilka lat temu. Inni dorastali, słuchając opowieści rodziców i dziadków — o podróży, pierwszej zimie, pierwszej pracy, listach wysyłanych do domu, przepisach i tradycjach, które przepłynęły z nimi ocean.

We wrześniu, z okazji Miesiąca Polskiego Dziedzictwa, chcemy zebrać te historie w małej, wspólnotowej wystawie:

📍 Halifax Central Library
🗓️ środa, 23 września

Chcemy je wszystkie. Te najtrudniejsze — wywózki na Sybir, lata w obozach, dzieciństwo spędzone w drodze, rodziny, które nigdy nie mogły wrócić. I te ciche — młode małżeństwo z dwiema walizkami, pierwsze mieszkanie, praca inna niż ta, do której się przygotowywali. Jedne i drugie należą do tej samej ściany.

I nie musi to być Wasza własna historia. Może należy do sąsiadki. Do babci. Do człowieka z naszej parafii, który odszedł wiele lat temu, a którego zdjęcia wciąż leżą w czyjejś szufladzie. Opowiedzcie nam o ludziach, którzy tworzyli tę społeczność — wielu z nich już z nami nie ma i nie opowiedzą o sobie sami, ale my wciąż możemy o nich mówić.

Szukamy:
📷 fotografii — dawnych i całkiem niedawnych (skany lub oryginały — wszystko zwrócimy z należytą troską)
✉️ listów, dokumentów, pamiątek
📝 spisanych wspomnień — wystarczy jeden akapit
🗣️ albo po prostu Waszego głosu — jeśli wolicie opowiedzieć swoją historię, niż ją spisać, chętnie spotkamy się przy kawie i nagramy ją razem

Jeśli zbierzemy wystarczająco dużo zdjęć, ożywimy je na dużym ekranie podczas wieczoru.

💌 Aby wziąć udział, wyślijcie nam wiadomość lub napiszcie na adres [email protected] do 31 sierpnia.

A niezależnie od tego, czy macie coś do przekazania — zarezerwujcie sobie ten termin. 23 września zapraszamy wszystkich.

Udostępnijcie ten post — być może znacie właśnie tę osobę, na której historię czekamy. ❤️
