September is traditionally celebrated as Polish Heritage Month in Nova Scotia, as officially declared by Nova Scotia’s legislature. To mark the occasion, the local Polish community hosted a variety of events. Among these, on September 12, the Polish Emigration Memorial Society laid a wreath at the Polish Immigration Monument in front of the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 in Halifax. On September 14, a Polish flag-raising ceremony was held outside Halifax City Hall, where HRM Mayor Andy Fillmore read the official proclamation and the Polish national anthem was played. Later, on September 19, Halifax Central Library hosted Polish Culture Day, organized with the support of the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in Montreal and Halifax Public Libraries. On September 20, our friend Elżbieta Rulka, from the Polish Emigration Memorial Society, received the Honorary Badge for Merits to Polonia and Poles Abroad (Odznaka Honorowa za Zasługi dla Polonii i Polaków za Granicą). Ela was recognized and honored by Consul General Izabela Fabjańska-Potapczuk, Vice-Consul Natalia Romanowska, and Honorary Polish Consul in Nova Scotia Jan Skóra for her dedicated work with the Polish community in Nova Scotia. Congratulations, Ela! On September 26, the Polish Canadian Society of Nova Scotia - PCSNS and the Polish Language Club hosted a potluck-style Polish Picnic at Di**le Park in Halifax—a wonderful opportunity to share favorite dishes and enjoy good company! That same day, the Polish Village Hall hosted a beautiful Polish Cultural Open House, presented by the Pogoria Polish Folk Ensemble and the St. Michael’s Polish Benefit Society in Sydney, NS. This summary highlights only a selection of the events that took place. Kudos to Nova Scotia’s Polish community for their initiative and dedication to celebrating their Polish heritage, traditions, and shared bonds.

September 15, 2026, marks 86 years since the Battle of Britain, a major turning point in 1940 when the Royal Air Force fended off the German Luftwaffe. Allied forces were reinforced by international airmen, including Canada’s No. 1 Squadron—which lost 23 Canadian pilots—and the renowned Polish No. 302 and No. 303 Squadrons, with 31 Polish pilots making the ultimate sacrifice.
The main local ceremony to honour these events was hosted yesterday, Sunday, September 13, 2026, by the City of Dieppe and the Dieppe Military Veterans Association.
At least seven pilots from New Brunswick flew in the Battle of Britain, with six losing their lives during the battle or in related training accidents. A total of 145 Polish pilots fought in the Battle of Britain, forming the largest foreign contingent serving alongside the Royal Air Force. During the main period of the battle (July 10 – October 31, 1940), 31 Polish pilots lost their lives in action or died of combat injuries. Polish airmen were credited with 203 enemy aircraft shot down—around 12 per cent of all German losses during the Battle of Britain.

It has been 42 years since Saint John Paul II visited Moncton on September 13, 1984. Hundreds of thousands of people gathered in the streets, at Notre-Dame-d'L'Assomption Cathedral, and at the Magnetic Hill site created specifically for the visit.
As they have every year since the Pope's visit, the Knights of Columbus held an outdoor Mass at the site again today, and we were honoured to be a part of it.
The Mass was celebrated by His Grace, Archbishop Guy Desrochers. Dieppe Mayor Hélène Boudreau, MP Ginette Petitpas Taylor, and other officials from Moncton, Dieppe, and Riverview were also in attendance.
Below are a few photos from Saint John Paul II's historic visit, as well as photos from today's celebratory Mass.

The first stage of restoration of the headstones of the Polish airmen, Major Andrzej Markiewicz and Lieutenant Mieczysław Głód, who died tragically during a military exercise in 1943 in Elgin, NB, is officially complete!
We thank our Consul, Jan Skóra, and the Polish Emigration Memorial Society in Halifax for their support and for funding this complex project.

"The only thing we can do is remember them.”
On August 16, our Polish Consul in Halifax, Mr. Jan Skóra alongside representatives of Canadian authorities and associations laid wreaths at the memorial honouring Canadian soldiers who fell during the 1942 Dieppe Raid in France. Attendees included MP Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick Robert Gauvin, Mayor of Dieppe Hélène Boudreau, and President of the Military Veterans’ Association Sylvain Bouliane.
Our organization laid flowers at the memorial plaque dedicated to the crew of the Polish destroyer ORP "Ślązak", honouring the bravery of the Polish sailors who rescued 85 soldiers from the Royal Canadian Regiment on the beach at Dieppe.
Following the ceremony, a reception was held at the Golden Age Club, where we enjoyed warm conversations with other attendees.
We would like to thank all members of our organization who attended Sunday’s ceremonies, and we invite you to view a few photos from this solemn and moving occasion.
